Water masses from the sky,
Indian waters rising high.
Ganesh is snorkeling with his trunk.
Holy Cow is nearly sunk.
Rickshawdriver can't believe:
his Rickshaw floating like a leaf,
on holy waters in the street,
where shit and piss and panspit meet.
Rain and heat and dusty air,
nasty insects everywhere.
Umbrellasellers earning rich.
Welcome, Monsoon: you dirty bitch!
