Ancient cities

I visualised ancient cities
for college competition,
those relics and ruins
times’ boundaries , erosions,
civilisations that are today’s
monuments and history’s
real story time pages,
no aircrafts, no escalators
where the first step I need
to carefully step in,
for sixty cannot compete
with sweet sixteen ,
those coins in copper pots
and idols of excavations ,
mix memory with
the past, and dexterity,
serenity struck those cities
where no multi storied
buildings and mush room
growth of population,
no bundles of toilet papers,
no dry taps,
those ancient cities
do not echo your voice
in tapes and comp discs
those are the ancient cities
without air pollution
still vibrant in notation.
