And then?

Then? What then? What about the Bare legs Seeking address Wait. Be a snail. Then the hours Began undressing And then? Wait. No unleashed Impulses. The earth tilts Towards the sun Here in India Dusk thickens In California Legs in line Mostly bare For the dancing hall Sea and seagulls Some vultures too Mingled with the Moneylenders Waves and wavelets Tipsy and tottering Hard orange pieces In pursuit of soft ones Twilight in the bottle Exuberance in deluge Here the legs And hands Raise the curtain Bread and butter Poetry and Mathematics Computers and Greenfields Fish and mutton Then? And then? Then? What then?
