IDENTITY – IN THE COSMOPOLITAN CITY


Unlike in my village
in the cosmopolitan city
I don’t have a face
but I do have multiple faces.
Unlike in my village
in the cosmopolitan city
I don’t have a permanent address
but I do have multiple addresses.
Unlike in my village
in the cosmopolitan city
I don’t have an intimate friend
but I do have multiple friends.
Unlike in my village
in the cosmopolitan city
I don’t have a girl friend
but I do have multiple girl friends.
We are the sands on the shore of the sea
we are the stars in the blue sky and
we are the leaves of a giant banyan tree.
In the cosmopolitan city
nobody has nobody.
After all
what is this identity for?
