Twice Upon a Time

TWICE UPON A TIME 

two things clicked. A severed 
evening parachuting down 
on a hillock where a palace 
hovered about. And coming 
to terms with a cool perspective. 

Kuchipudi there was. And Payal 
to perform. Dispelling detachments. 
And dithering in acceptance. I was
being answered in steps like 1 plus
1 is 2 or 10, binary or not. 

And then Amjad Ali’s Sarod 
Intervenes to disprove detachments 
and to accept acceptance. Reducing 
things to chewable bits. To be 
politically and peaceably correct.
