Question

Children on their way to school
barely notice it as it squats
on the river like a humped bull
swishing its tail occasionally
at the swams of barefoot tourists
They have been gone now
the emperor and his favourite queen
for some three hundred odd years
But this marble flame
Earth's other moon,how it rubs
expensive delicate salt
in the wound of un requited love..!!
