Hang off of a train; that is todays wholly loved And accepted caper.
Too mundane to laugh.
So what now That the glamour To transcend Has skipped its jet stone Across a pond And more?
Hypocrisy is not entirely irritant, or Plebe devil; for, Where it constricts one New allotments wait for Victims, new knowing Of leeway that is Passable. Bhopal?
To pine in penury? Is that the gallow left of punishment In bells rung, Saris strung and pleated so unseemly As if prayer fecklessness Had let to get them Wet? And Down pungent alleys simmering With tandooris mirage?
Not even a vector Of applause, though I have heard ruffians' Din.
So I guess These folks would carouse In newfound hypocrisy--peddlers talk faster, Quit the job altogether?
Now I think that movie makers have reversed the plight A fresh riff, And the people like pre-salat And chiefly Taj-bound Have bathed in the fame which has soldered Operated, worked beauty To bathos, And yet all that went without address Now swoons obtrusively Like castes, mortars And their commensal Hems.
But even then--when contemplating The expectant striations Of hunger, Notwithstanding the stomach's churlish mews, The Plebes sneered, which was better than no attention And far more praise Coming from the native populace.
The caper wins, and they were thankful For its taproot, And they fashioned of it something of a eucharist.
We pitied Their mustered terrorism and That which was what we saw a glimmer of : third-world betrothed to Third grade. And we concluded: Young suffering was the least pitiful of all
For actors, pint-sized, Felled to louche prophecies-- And Mumbai Cradling its half-stalks Like a monsoon bands bouquet.
When the caper has been appreciated, exorcised, and Exhumed,
We could sigh because the bantering poets half-replied, And this was well versed.
