  1. Decomposition by Zulfikar Ghose I have a picture I took in Bombay His head in the posture of one weeping Of a beggar asleep on the pavement : into a pillow chides me now for my Grey-haired, wearing shorts and a dirty shirt, presumption at attempting to compose His shadow thrown aside like a blanket. Art out of his hunger and solitude. His arms and legs could be cracks in the stone, Routes for the ants’ journeys, the flies’ descents. Brainwashed by the sun into exhaustion, He lies veined into stone, a fossil man. Behind him there is a crowd passingly Bemused by a pavement trickster and quite Indifferent to this very common sight Of an old man asleep on the pavement. I thought it then a good composition And glibly called it ‘The Man in the Street’ Remarking how typical it was of India that the man in the street lived there.
