Gargi Khanna
Loud & crowd
And every other sound
Used to remind of a tale
People gathering without fail
The world seemed so ignorant
The streets seemed so exuberant
A little touch of generosity
And a whole lot of animosity
The happy song of purveyors
Sounded like a prayer
‘Let’s celebrate this union of uproar & glee’
May we explore the streets carefree!’
There was never a dull moment
Even the birds would be happy with you or lament
Kids screaming for more
Or vehicles going out of control
Lots of honking
Friends who were bonding
The story of the streets
Hopefully will soon repeat
Life doesn’t come with a tutor
As we all are oblivious to the future
Never thought I’ll miss the crowd
Let’s fill the streets soon whenever we are allowed
