First And Last Trains Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

First And Last Trains

The first train and the last -
fully packed.

The first brings maids to the city.
By the last, babus return.

Neither the first nor the last
ever fails.

Maids belong to home-service,
babus to the outer world -
different time zone.

Contextually the same:
service providers.

Maids and babus,
baids and mabus -

labels blur,
roles rotate.

Doesn't matter
Doesn't matter.
