A Stray Dog In the Rain
Poor doggy in the hard rain
no umbrella to hide the pain
housing society gates shoo them out
space under parked cars in knee-deep troughs
men and women stuck indoors, sip hot tea
children barred from school sing do re me
closed offices due to waterlogged streets
white and black clouds play hide and seek
sailed paper boats in the curly road water
drowned by waves of passing vehicle tire
memories of rain in the football field
chase the ball on wet grass, slide on the heel
a crow picks a crumb from claws of another
quickly beaks a crumb lying in a corner
