Eating Khichadi in Manhattan — Abhay K.

After years of nomadic life I have settled in Manhattan

This is the place I call home now, eating khichadi in Manhattan

I watch Chicago on the Broadway and Romeo & Juliet at the Met Opera

When I return home at East 43 street, I eat khichadi in Manhattan

I read at the Poets House with Alfred Corn and Ladan Osman

I drink red wine at the bar with Burt Kimmelman in Manhattan

I travel within the city in yellow taxis chatting with Sukhbir, Imtiyaj, Karl 

and eat Italian between the third avenue and Lexington in Manhattan

I meet Nicholas
