Naught lessons for outerspace

 1
 for two hours,
  i sat staring through
the glass doors of the trains

 at people i had begun to believe had something
     to say to me,all of them
it was on their faces

   the tired expressions
 of having to ask

They seem disobedient
   to the principles of precint
little spaceless wonders
   where colossal mishaps
come wrapped in your own gum

"I've already asked three people"
she said to me,i wasn't even listening
but somehow i was accounted for among the three
I pointed her in the direction where she ought to have been going..

as i took it on the chest as part of an emotional slide,
but really i was just glad i was going in the opposite direction today

By evening
   my study of her
  a conjecture she would agree upon


5 The Rajendra Place metro station(2010)

The beaded numbers illuminated
as announcements overlapped,
   stinging the ears unless three became one

 i felt my weight drop to the ground
as people gathered around
  a man in a wheelchair
