RELIGION Poem: GANESHA WIGGLE, by Richard Pettigrew

New Delhi 3 wheelers
lean maniacal turns
on raging roadways

Krishna, Vishnu, Hanuman
Rama and Shiva dolls
lean off flimsy mirrors

preposterous horns
blare a maddening drone
lurching plastic Gods a whiplash pleasure

drenched in sweat and smog
jousting open air taxis give way to
a polished Bentley oozing a heaven unimaginable

Tuk Tut drivers
however notice
something more impressive

on the luxurious dashboard
wiggles a large Ganesha doll
divining one golden transport.
