rescue vocabularies
develop a new grammar
for the aphorism of time
will not let you articulate
punctuations are important
just as conjuctions are
breaking and forging new identities
lost in the conundrum of civilizational wars
they say globalization
and mean unabashed consumption
subsuming of the whole in a powerful part
they say culture
and mean a monolith
they say america
and mean the whole of United States
they say India
and mean all -
kashmir, north east
(forget that there are 7 different states -they themselves identified
dots of new, fresh, organic tastes -
they celebrated one in Nagi pokhri)
telangana
hyderbad
nostalic over Bombay
and Calcutta
and Cawnpore
therefore
we need language
rather languages
to chronicle each hurt
each flesh pinched
each nipple bit
each breast manhandled
each bread snatched
each dog killed
each dream shattered
and each moment lived.
Rescue words
save vocabulary
build new architecture
invent new syntax
we need it
i need it
you need it
caese the fleeting time
the chasing, fast erasing memories
moments frozen in skinny details.
