A Tale of Test-tube Rivers
Salem Suleri
Carrying water in pitcher have ended long time ago
Woman and man get tired of going to the flowing river
How long will they open their portico, secrets of their
body?
Rivers too are tired now
Where's raincoat, perplexed woman?
What unusual kind of cooperation
There's no youthfulness left as usual in the rivers
Not of itself, not of woman, nor of man.
There also remain unusual opposite journey
River is not a thing to observe
It now passes through tunnel
It is now felt with tube well, it is now supplies
Water to the houses of cities through pipes
Resembling snakes or bamboo In the toilets,
Kitchen, gardens In the summing tubs
Basins it flows as Test Tube Rivers has now become fact
Water turns to human beings; rivers are not in the rivers
Water flows towards water taps
O society, for You it is now.
