Your cardigan’s hem
Stitches ruined without touch
Jump off the cliff now.

*

Reading Macbeth in italics
The characters are tilted and
The witches by my side.
*

Ice cubes on my water please
Let my teeth chill.
Titanic should meet its glacier.

*

An atheist on working days
Agnostic on vacations
Electronic switching systems.

*

I speak Bangla, you French
One tongue the other meets
Revolution inside our mouths.

*

Hoarding: we sell liquor
And history books
On which will you bargain?
