Mr. Mishra cannot shit

without his morning newspaper

& until all the articles are read 

& rated, a good big shit remains 

awaited, and today's a particular 

problem - Mr. Mishra's travelling 

on a train and is constipated. He 

is cursing spicy food and all the 

headlines, as a small, stony pellet

drops slowly - the pain is unholy! -

first at the New Delhi railway station, 

& despite his cursing & frustration 

the next one takes all the way till 

Tilak Bridge (the news gets no better,

just columnists' idle chatter) till one 

last long, painful pebble comes out 

of him at Anand Vihar and drops 

down on the train tracks, and Mr. 

Mishra almost shouts, as the pain 

wracks him, he promises his cook, 

his work, his world some serious 

avenging, reading the last headline: 

"In reply to the petitioner's PIL, the 

Indian railways ministry denies the 

presence of manual scavenging."
