The compartment elephant struggles
Somehow it slithers out the door frame
I rush along in its belly
I am elbowed and sweared at
I have a Rs. 20 breakfast budget
Somehow it slithers out the door frame
I rush along in its belly
I am elbowed and sweared at
I have a Rs. 20 breakfast budget
The stall is always dingy
The handed change is chutney-smeared
The pav is dry and the potato scalds
And my tummy is hall full
Somehow the crow is cheerful
A smack-worthy arrogant crow on the bar
He reciprocates and hands me
As I exit to the open road
The morning's definition on my shirt
