he was bowed
Busy with his fingers
Scrolling and surfing
Ups and downs
Downs and ups
head lowered
And he entered into the car
Gained speed
Speed in gadget
Speed in gear
Passed the bridges,
Passed the towers
Jungles of iron scraps
Fetid rivers.
A long drive it was
And the car reached
A languid lake
A saffron sky
The healing air hailed them
And came out He
Head held high
This time no bowing
This time no lowering
And the gadget was there
Left alone in the car upholstery
Only He enjoyed
The changing wallpaper.
