as the seamstress passed through the bazaar
time for a new outfit was coming even more near
silk of seed beaded feathers
came strongly into her vision
a tailor in kirta and pajama smiles
showing teeth red as pomegranates asks
weren't you once in another society
or was it just an apparition?
before she had chance to ask
if that was in 74 or 5
she felt the tug of a tiny monkey
and the wheels of a rickshaw stuck in a rut
deep as it was wide
his broken english was mostly in hindi
trying to decipher it she gathered her bilingual skills together dusting them off
was able to understand
bring the silk to my shop with some dhupa and dipa and i'll have it ready for Janmastami
today it wasn't so easy
getting the leis together 'specially when
the usual maker asked for a stand in two hours before and flowers had to be picked from the land
bottle brush and other delights
now cycle babble and i are sailing along respecting ratha-bhojana-vrksa on cycles made of light and cork filled tape
coming to the beach hill someone asks
you guys don't look so much like cyclists
well there just aren't enough titanium components to go round
meandering past the sea lion rock and the mariposa trail
sprinting past spinner's church
leaving skaters in the lurch
circling through the treacherous triangle
slowing and fading fast
once more respecting ratha-bhojana-vrksa
hammering quicker and quicker
passing the training team up ahead
turning to the asrama greeted by the kernel of divine love raising his arms
sandhya is charmed
while in "baby blue"
the thakuras
take their rest or whatever they really do
