dodge
the dog shit
the human spit
the open gutter
the shoe eating pavement

dodge em cars

avoid
the 22 yr old on the cycle
the groper
the mobile snatcher
and the potential kidnapper

cross the road if you think u have company

don't look at
the mad man
the drug addict
the man pissing on the wall

don't look into cars with blackened windows

ignore
the begging children
the drunk man in the gutter
the dead man on the street
crude hindi songs

look over your shoulder, hold on to your bag

hold your breath when u pass
garbage
the sulabh sauchalaya
the man with the tb cough
mahim
and love-grove pumping station

i hate the days i don't have my car.
