these are times, when no patience
and pragmatics prevail as far as
these ancient outdated modules figure
in most women’s heart and thinking;
heavy cylinders with cooking gas
connecting tubes with gas lighters
modern kitchen with modernized
appliances where modernity creeps in
minute by minute; little do we realize
how hard it is for delivery man to lift
on his shoulders and load and reload
in his van rolling from street to street;
modernity has its own limits
modernity has its own rubrics
