—MH, 11 SEPTEMBER 2020

Exorbitant, new

fears raise Raavan-heads every

where; vie for first place

in the mouths of ministers

and media. We make room

for “séparatisme,”

and then “ensauvagement.” My

parents taste “urban

naxal”: should I tell them that

is bhakt-speak for folks like me?

—KN, 17 SEPTEMBER 2020

Devotee of do-

nothing, the minister does.

In one another’s

arms, faces, masks on chins, wrists,

the young crowd late-summer streets,

drinking Cokes or beer,

eating sandwiches. I wish

this were fine. I’d like

to mind my own business, read

film reviews, not virus charts.
