"Ah, mon cher, we are odd, wretched creatures, and if we merely look back over our lives, there's no lack of occasions to amaze and horrify ourselves."

 - Albert Camus as Jean-Baptiste Clamence, 'The Fall'

on the streets of Paharganj

in delhi big beast
capital city
land of democracy
and here

liquor
cheap hotels
and lust and

I believe
redemption
is there

as an occupant
of a dirty dusty
dingy damp
room for rupees
three hundred sir
better rate nowhere
else

shining beacons
beckon
the foreign invitees
welcome welcome
you will be welcome
with dope and cheap clothes
for dollars and your
valued
patronage

here

come

there is ice cream and
cigarettes and
more
