Adil My Neighbors Son
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1

is older than me
his age belittles
his downsized frame
he has wisdom
challenging me
each time that
is never the same
he calls me firoze shakir
a dust to dust becomes
my bollywoods most wanted name
so much for celebrity status and illbegotten fame
his talk is not childish banter
but words that my own 52 years defame
he stands much taller than me ..
i stunted ..limpishly loudspeakerd but lame
a father the son of a child became
