Wet Dreams

Sometimes I wish...
we were no rats;
therefore no rat-race to run


Sometimes I wish...
daylight knew;
that darkness follows the setting sun

Sometimes I wish...
friends understood;
the lingering silence between words

Sometimes I wish...
money was simply green paper;
& people pursued their dreams instead

Sometimes I wish...
good health could be purchased;
in the guise of a Five Star bar

Sometimes I wish...
living a life;
was more important than making a living

Sometimes I wish...
love included;
faith and respect and commitment

But each time I also wish...
Gujarat was not a dry-state;
& I'd be drinking cold beer, instead.
