Cats and rats and rabbits and dogs are regarded as pets,
For us, in India, cows and buffalo are assets;
Seldom we witness, in villages, people dog-walking,
Or sleeping cats and young pigs in their beds or dove...

splatter on the floor!
My vital-life-juice, 
spilling over my eyelid,
clumping my long lashes
