As If Poem by Arvind Srivastava

As If

..as if
time had wandered in pitch darkness
as if a squirrel
had been caught by a hunting dog
as if a cockroach
had fallen on the ground
and just now an innocent
was crushed while crossing the road

when you softly asked me in the language of the market
- what else do you do
besides poetry?
