15,578. JUSTIN TYME

JUSTIN TYME
The man who built the Mohabir
has now gone on to other things:
It turns out so wildly to be so. His
other name was Ratlango.
-
His mother came from Rangoon,
and his father was a British servant.
Royal Navy, and all that stuff. Thet
settled off near Goa. Now the swarms
of glpbal tourists come each year, over
and over again  -  and he owns a new
fortune in restaurants and hotels.
-
There are countless religious principals
involved in Indian life, from Delhi to
Kolkata (I still can't not say Calcutta),
everything is covered and the task of
a daily survival now is to get it right.
-
The Ganges survives its own filthy
crowd. Wading and walking and wailing.
Outside the temples, the funeral pyres
burn.
