Lady walks
Under a red
Parasol,
Rouged,
Aviators on,
Left hand carrying
The Vuitton clutch
To the mall,
Male gaze following
Her delicate steps
And anorexic figure,
To her secret delight;
Woman works
Bare-headed,
On a construction-site,
Carrying head-loads of gravel
Non-stop,
Covered in dust
Thin and dark,
Scorched further
By the sun,
Hardly seen by anyone.
” Difference ” offers the reader a poetic lens on the variegated everyday ; a handy sniperscope with which to zero in on targets.
Thanks Louis.
Calm and vivid.
Thanks Gopal.

Vivid contrast. Shows how the world is influenced by the glam-quotient.
Thanks Sangeeta.
