jaldi!!!!!

Drown out all the noise,

Hurry up with those fires.

Drive a little harder,

Wear out those tyres.

Both in the midriff,

And under the chassis.

Hurry up with the haircuts –

Rather be rough than classy.

Because I am not Auden, or Tagore.

And these stars are moving faster than times of yore.

So to get there if I must,

and be the trust in your Miss Trust,

I will gladly bend over and be your whore.


[Same anonymous bengali poet of the twenty first century]
