Walk Like A Crab Poem by Raj Arumugam

I was walking along
leisurely
in our cities
(small and mega alike)
on my own in the streets
when I saw a 10 000
each walking like a crab
(well, not in parade formation
but each mindlessly on their own
everyone's gait like a crab's)

And The 10 000 turned to me
in one Wagnerian chorus:
"You should walk
like a crab
You fit in best
if you walk
like rest of us crabs"

And so today
you might find me walking
in our cities
(small and mega alike)
on my own in the streets
the 1 added to the 10 000
each walking like a crab

singing our Wagnerian chorus:
"Walk, walk like a crab
All who desire to live and prosper
walk like a crab"
