FERRY- GHAAT ON RIVER GONGAA
___________________________________________
Powered , these days, by steam
the river - crossing - ferry -ghaat
on the Gongaa river
And this daily crossing- habit like Office-life
Thirty or forty-five people ,--men, women , children
for river-crossing , peak hours or less --- otherwise
each day from early morn to midnight
waving and speeding ,- through, rain storm or sun
I do not know, -here to they go --
where from they come , too , --I do not know
From my riverbank Balcony site
I have the rare previlege, to enjoy the sight
without knowing .
This way of living in sub-urban life
this watching the River ,Millenniums old
this human- coming and going ,---either way
like any living life --and experience
-any where, any when
ever seen and never understood
in full ----by me !
