A society girl came down from heaven today
She wouldn’t eat anything that wasn’t cooked in ghee
If she were offered something not cooked in ghee she’d get up and scream
Elegant leis today rose petals with zinnias and whole roses showing their faces to all who come for darsana
From folded palms at the ratha-bhojana-vrksa to the post office of Mahamuni and then to one on snob hill and then one in the triangle. The gecko and I are looking to do a mailing but the offices are all closed and they only have automated centers for that and we’re balking at the prospect. In the end we have to surrender. Then around Saint Dagwood’s park like so many times before. Back by the shop where the gecko takes leave as usual and I go back around the corner to the reviewing stand. Next to the harbor and the tennis park and the florist’s shop where the toffee nose is. Around the southland avoiding a cat crossing the street since that goes against a Hindu superstition and then bow to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa and the kalarupa brings me back for the sandhya.
Riding on a horse of different color, Vamsi dasa babaji enters Marakta Mani Puri talking like a pirate and Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari take advantage of the warm night once again to dance out under the stars.
