Two women sat side by side,
In an Uber halted across the road
One clad in a saree light
One donned in a business suit.
One cradled a newborn tot
against the warmth of her bosom soft.
One checked her phone
as swift as light
her expressions terse
her eyes bored.
One saw a figure sculpted right
draped in expensive clothes.
The other saw
the bloom of motherhood,
strength of an invincible soul.
Each wondered if an epoch had been
created or eschewed.
Invidiousness
in their insides rose.
One saw a selfless
labor of love
Sleepless nights of toil and work
One saw a persistent devotion,
to a hunt for identity.
to a point perceived
paramount
to be proven.
Reverence
in their hearts rose.
Who is finer?
Who is fine?
an absolute summation,
hard to define.
A canal of love or
A window of dreams
A picturesque view
together might yield.
Who mattered?
Who mattered though is
hard to say.
One raised a child
that built what they call great
then why such division
why such deride
a difference in paths
doesn’t always mean
a difference in destination.
One stopped forth a glass dwelling
Other stopped forth her home
still wondering in their hearts
if an epoch
had been created or
an epoch had been eschewed.
