drawing attention
only at traffic lights
or tight jams
ignored otherwise
as the world and its harried people
pass by

Do teen chaar meherbaan logon ki nazar padhe to baat ban jaaye.
What do people want?
Dont they like the colours?

Why are they so unseeing?
Should they not be paying for the spectacle i offer them on the drab street?
Is a shiny car better than my rainbow chariot?
i wish i could ask these qs in his words, in his language.
