Passing Through Chennai

Passing through Kolkata

Angel to Monkey

Rajesh Sundaram

Perched precariously on his master's right shoulder

Long white robe, smile and the halo

"The angel, conscience keeper of the giant " he thought

Whispering into the master's right ear, unsolicited advice on every move

..."pointing the right way" he thought, in a "horribly wrong" world

Till the occupant of the "wrong" shoulder had his way

...and the master tossed the monkey off his back.
