At the restaurant surrounded by Mannequins

Anindita Sarkar

Group of three girls absorbed in a risqué chat
delectably ogling at the single guy
with a stern backbone never ruffling
dining next to their table.
They mutely played mimicries
their lips intact with the ochre from Greece.

An old interracial couple
about to make a confession,
on the occasion of their fiftieth anniversary.
one couldn’t lift the cup of vinegar,
the other dozed off unwary of any immanence.

Two bards dressed in overcoat
men without a temperament ,
gesticulated about the books unread
and about their prodigal habits
that supplanted their wives with mistresses.

The landscape also had a muse,
a Victoria Secret model
waxy thighs and tresses opalescent
a face of stubborn tendency
she could make one candidly smitten
but no one cared to shrug away a glance.

I could sip my juice,
Spit and Rip out a tooth
and pay the waiter
with dismembered mannequins
but I waited for them
to express a gamut of human emotions.
