New Delhi at 3 |
|
A.M.Just arrived by |
|
KLMLeft the airport in the heat |
|
In the bus, strange people meet |
|
Driving through the starless night |
|
Passing very unusual sights |
|
Left the bus at five to five |
|
Caught a taxi, started to drive |
|
He thought |
|
I was a millionaire |
|
And accordingly put up the fair |
|
Dawn was breaking in the |
|
EastCausing this hot night to cease |
|
Mosquito buzzing in my ears |
|
Grating sound of clashing gears |
|
Burning rubber through the air |
|
Taxi driver began to swear |
|
The heat was burning |
|
My head was turning |
|
It was then the car broke down |
|
Just on the outskirts of town |
|
A camel from |
|
Derangdera |
|
Silently passed by our car |
|
A vulture circled high above in the air |
|
I had to shade my eyes to to cover the glare |
|
Sweating in the plastic seats |
|
Hard to breath in the increasing heat? |
|
Lying back my mind started |
|
To drift into a in easy sleep |
|
I dreamt I was in |
|
New DelhiDying slowly of |
|
La Grippe |
