was recently
admitted to
bhaba hospital
he caught
malaria
jaundice
typhoid
he has
not been
too well
he is on
sick leave
from his job
as a sentinel
he would have
been infected
anyway
because
of the gutter
that flows
at bandra bazar road
the filthy 'dirty smell
for years patiently
he lived on this
mound of a hell
his pain to the
municipal corp orator
he dd not tell
being a healer
his services
he did not
oversell
he gave free
medicine
for the human soul
caught in a traffic jam
of a life's pell mell
now jesus lies
on the floor
of this hospital
hoping to
recover soon
to be on time
to attend his
mothers birthday
at mount mary
a thought
that rings a bell
like you
he wants
to be there
as well
also to wish the
muslims idd mubarak
the hindus happy
ganesha festival
he told
me the the roads
before the ganeshas
leave for the visarjan
the pot holes
they level
once those
who sit at the
MCGM
do their road paving jobs
pretty well
for the sake of
Amchi Mumbai
the Mumbaikar
the common man
live let live
dont rebel


now dont ask me why jesus was admitted to the bhabha hospital and not to the to the holy family hospital at bandra a dark secret under oath I was told not to tell..but i will jesus was broke the hefty advance they demand at his community's hospital he could not shell....dressed as a Muslim with a long beard he was scared the watchman might not recognize him thinking him to be a terrorist throw him out as well..
