14 Tom-Toms - V



the village of the birds is on the other side

neighbouring to it
is the smiled-face hermitage of the police

all the 5s and 7s in its telephone number
are vegetarian

they regularly mow their nails and teeth

the sleeves of their uniforms pick up air-feathers
from the body of the slate

they become a like shape of modesty

no more they need to celebrate their birth-days
by taking analgesic tablets for their headache

if they are invited to any party
to take drinks
they say that actually it is never
in keeping with the basil-leaves

now they fully believe in the monsoon-ism
they also tell to pass on this information

when taking part in the parade
scatter from their eyes
some local drops of water

the hand-cups covered with the fog
take up them very humbly
