Inside the purse.
Inside the folded, quality leathered purse,
Sophisticated, attractive,
Tucked, cosy in
my palm,
Inside the crowded
public transport bus,
My creativity ruminates, chews the
Cud of observation, moving, moving.
Inside the
purse, heavy
Worn out zip struck
in the middle,
Inside the
bus, the conductor
Calling for defaulters, loud and emphatic,
Whistle sounds automatic
,
As if it knows
the timings,
Inside the
purse,
No pounds, no dollars, no
Western money transfer
receipts,
Jingling are a
few Indian coins,
I preserve a
paper , very fragile,
Oblong, crushed, yet
preserved,
What is there
in a name?
What is there
in a piece of paper?
Yes, very much is there
It is the
bus ticket,
rolls and
moves faithfully
to my
destination midst
jolts and bolts.
