the other reality
rita malhotra
dazzling
spotlights
enhance
velvet skin on chiseled selves
preparing
to walk the ramp
on
shapely legs in delicate balance
on
floor-piercing eight inch stilettos
fashion
walks through decades and styles
smiles
constructed to hypnotize
complement
the
state-of-the art cameras
in a
world of seeming reality
a
world that claims continuity
with
the world outside
even
as
transient
fashion statements
shut
out the fire of hate
the
ruthless business of gunshots
holding
the city to ransom
disrupting
an era
as
the soul oozes blood
reality
forgets its signature
puzzled
lines on its forehead
try
to discern
between inside and outside
between
the reality of illusion
and
starkness of the other reality
cameras
inside continue to focus
on
the next aspiring model
outside,
fear prevails
like
an unknown monster
to
save the soul of the city.
