An Unusual Generosity

Littered over cafes,

in unkempt gardens,

and in clandestine corners

of cinema halls,

is an unsual generosity.

A willingness to ziplock

one world and move

curiously, into the other.

A kind of generosity

that can heal the world,

if we so choose.

A keeping behind of

our lives, albeit,

for a while

to peep into the world

of the other.

A day, when the right,

camps at the left's

liberal, open fields,

distant from the grime.

And the left,

stays over at the right's

insular but happy homes.

To be able,

to converse

with as much ease

with a truck driver

at a forlorn dhaba,

as you would

with a vice-president

at a shancy fivestar.

To walk with

men of

soil and sweat

as with

men of wine and

fine articulation.

Learn from these young,

forgiving lovers.

There may just be room,

for an unusual generosity.
