0335 Indian File Poem by Michael Shepherd

0335 Indian File

Rating: 2.1


Like a set of graded kitchen pans
the newsagent's children,
back from school, file into the tiny corner shop,
and all so small, this neat, obedient, clean set,
that no-one needed lift the counter flap.

And in a moment's flash of truth, or sentiment,
I saw the beauty of the human race.

I saw no racism, I saw a pretty vignette of life and a celebration of a culture

Hey, Whizzkin, don't jump to conclusions! 'Indian file' comes from First Americans, the others are Hindu Indians. Joke. Potential racism in your mind not mine. Now wash your mouth out...
