TO COUSIN LEFTY, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

on my insistence
cousin lefty
of nude bicycle fame
of flickr and now public
joined fakebook
minus the sinker line but hook
a culinary poona delight
with uncle fred the head cook
anthony posing
reading his poetry book
nauman umair
calling the talibans crook
searching for them
in every cranny and nook
bollywoods most wanted
has changed his look
by the mumbai police
as a gangster raping
his house maid
is often mistook
a pedestrian poem
simmering hot
served overcooked

an elections of disillusionment
the pillars of global peace shook
twitter serving as a page
of a prayer book
