Assimilation

Renuka is waiting in line. The fingerprinting office will surmise as the number will proceed accordingly.From the chair she took, she could see a couple in front of her. A romantic mexican duo. The boy was touching the girl gently. Her hair , her face, as if she was cuddling him, in response. She was smiling back too.

I often think about Monalisa these days. Smiling there , eternally. Attracting many more tourist eyes in the coming days, and pilgrims of arts in the days to come. With no added articulation, no added line breaks. Smiling and glowing. On the height of a pin, as an angel ask there.As even an angel ask there, on the height of a pin.

The lady cop was nice and swift. Renuka had everything ready within half an hour.

While exiting out, Renuka was checking for the duo one more time.

As once is the quarantine. Once is the photosynthesis. Once is the clairovoyance.

Neither to the east nor to the west.
