Curtained Off Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

At two places.
One is on Bandra skywalk
I can see only tumultuous traffic down:
The sky, moon and stars
Or the cloud, only through the gaps.

The other is on the Sea-Link
From Worli to Bandra.
The side bars are so thick and wide:
I cannot see shimmering light
On water, or the red setting Sun.

The treasures of Nature or life on Worli land-tip
Which I like to see, are continually
Curtained off and so curtailed for me.
Is it security, or lack of imagination of planners?
