The Samosa Man
The samosa man steps
to the platform’s edge
and we exchange, my rupees
for a hot pastry through bars
of the train window
In the distance, brief dawn
glimpses: rows of sugar cane,
bright green fields;
carts rumble along rutted paths,
laundry hangs on strings,
chickens peck in dusty yards.
I glance at the life;
the train moves on.
