Templeby the NH2

-How old is this temple?

-It has been years,

the aged man says.

In the evening

I find no return on the road,

save the one by the temple,

limp by two wheels.

The old man says

-My son will arrive with the wheels.

-When did he go?

-It has been years.

NH2 - Nitrogen DiHydride?
Or National Highway 2?

Kushal Poddar Mar 3, 2012, 8:39pm UTC

The second one, Allen

The juxtaposition, here, is poignant. Will the younger, modern generation ever return to tradition? Can the modern and the traditional comfortably coexist? Does NH2 not lead to the Taj Mahal?

Kushal Poddar Mar 4, 2012, 7:57am UTC

Thank you, Chris. It goes as far as you want it go

Another outstanding poetic puzzlement, my friend! I can remember a girl in my school used to have a tote bag with the Taj Mahal on it. Thanks for posting this!

Sounds like someone here is in a wheelchair, possibly a war veteran.
