In A New City Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

In A New City

The sun is climbing down—
I walk past
tall buildings, schools, offices,
roads folded
into the pocket of the city—
quiet.

Trees stand,
birds keep singing,
ladies and gentlemen stroll along the roads;
happiness, unhappiness—
a strange amalgam.

I walk.
So many doors—
not one
for me to enter.

That is when I realize:
I am a stranger.
