Mother and God
Mother and God
--
A baby was there
at the post office today,
mother's child,
son of a god
I was standing
in line,
looking at him, waiting,
for parcel from home
He was travelling,
angrily getting photo clicked
trying a new card in front
a doll old in hand
And i watching
in the line,
relentless efforts,
not giving up to blend the new with the old
Smiling finally, not him, me,
looking at my receptionist
stupor-clad, taking her time,
giving my parcel, clock ticking
As that baby was there
at the post office today
a mother's son
and a god's child
