about

it had been five years but he was in exactly the same place when i went looking for him that christmas he is always there he doesn't speak only lifts his head and keeps his two stumps for arms moving always moving and head up he never stops i can feel his exhaustion and each time i see him i give him all my change and even though i know the crook who puts him there every morning collects the money i can't help but hope that maybe my few extra paisa will make him easier on the lying down man i can still see him there on his belly in the sun and sometimes he comes unbidden into my thoughts i panic to think of him there in the heat with no shade no possibility of getting up to get some water from the pump or to eat or even relieve himself all day hammered by the heat and the exhaust from the cars on chowringee
and when i remember that i never ever even offered him water or a sliver of orange
i feel like weeping
and my heart becomes hollow
