"ODE TO THE INDIAN RAILWAYS"

Sudden breaks,
which wake the asleep,
cockroaches by the dozen,
promising you...
of a tough night ahead!!
My quilt smells,
like something has been living in it previously!
the pillow promotes,
some sort of hair oil.
The curtains add luxury,
to my misery!!
the man sleeping in front of me...
can wake the dead city of Mohenjodaro!!
I look out of the window,
the giant crack doesn't help much.
The floor is clean...
and clean are the rest rooms,
now there is a true surprise!!
