EXTRACT

THE INTRANSIGENT TRAVELLER

has gone to the farm
but he doesn’t think
he will stay
more than a couple of days.
He has a situation with cattle
which can be seen
from dining room windows,
other people’s plates
and India
north of Delhi
where a waiter
with three thumbs
once served him
an omelette.
