    We learn of bird
    and marsh,
    and photography,
    and friendship
    in your picture!

    Tough days for old folks,
    in Mumbai.

    In earlier times,
    I've swooped down amidst the waves
    to tangle with fish;
    and
    when the waves receded
    my friends and I
    pecked around
    the mud
    searching for dessert,

    Thanks to
    the biped's proclivity
    for pouring waste into the ocean,
    my plumage is prematurely grey,
    and arthritis hurts,
    as I tread gingerly
    amidst the flats
    riddled with
    chemical scar tissue.

    No wonder
    our youngsters fly off,
    depleting a nest
    that is itself no more
    and
    the firangi flamingoes
    prefer
    Kokan beaches
    further south...

    Like I said,
    its a bad time for old folks in Mumbai...
