Clothes’ line
S. NIHAL SINGH

A road barrier in the 
shade of a dirty yellow, 
topped by blobs, each with 
an ad message. 

Our city apparatchiks 
believe in the 
Wildean adage that 
nothing succeeds like excess. 

Citizens have 
made short work 
of the railing, 
tearing down sections. 

The eyesore 
serves a purpose. 
Shopkeepers dry 
their dirty carpets on it.
