Inside Outside
Today I came out from
monotonousness
stepped into old slippers
loose slack shirt
and in one old trousers
no deodorants encircled
my presence
let the sweat smell
I could feel the real me,
walked out in midday Sun
AC sensitized skin, burnt
to fumes, real me exposed,
I saw a man digging roadside
canal, his wife sitting with kid
on her lap hidden under her
saree sucking breast,
Sun couldn't burn them,
I burnt from inside
and outside, felt
the odour of me...
