Sitting in the balcony 
in the night 
enjoying the ‘whistle
blowing’ faraway sea 
her motherly caressing 
and whispers of 
secrets hidden in its 
basement  
also 
the unknown waves of secrets 
of the city 
under the golden 
sodium-vapour lamps,
men and women crisis-crossing
the serpentine roads
as also 
vehicles hooting and tooting 
the ones roaming around 
the city 
must be media men 
with hidden cameras 
to capture 
hidden dealings 
behind the curtains 
not knowing the suspected
culprits are 
being followed 
just imagine, the moment 
these wheeler-dealers 
appearing on the TV 
screens at the earliest 
reflections flashing across 
as if in a mirror
their hearts pounding 
the frenzy of denials 
with the invented statement 
‘all doctored’ 
‘all doctored’ 
‘all doctored’ 
denials after denials 
amusing drama really.
