The boy at the traffic signal
(In Delhi, you come across boys trying to sell all kinds of books when cars stop at the Traffic Signal)
The boy sits
on the side of the road
in the shade
books on lap
drooping head
about to doze off.
Just then a car honks by -
in the scorching heat
the prospect of a sale
long awaited?
A forlorn look
the boy gives
and does not move.
