In this poem the world hasn’t shrunk
itself to fit into your tender palms.
In this poem the local dhaba isn’t shut,
with its owner cooped up in a body bag.
In this poem you graduate, weaving memories
of school, setting them free into the blue.
In this poem Baba is a real person, not
a photograph Maa shops online a frame for.
