Handshaking With The African Gorilla Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Handshaking With The African Gorilla



When a child,
I used to see
The visitors, strangers
Especially the naughty boys
Handshaking with the gorilla
In the zoo
Lying caged in
A big and bulging gorilla
Blackly-haired
And with strange face
Seeming to be a human being
Or its prototype
And he sometimes letting to go
And sometimes holding in firm clasp
Leaving it not so easily.
