Thanking one's family and friends Is what all acknowledgements start with. I do the same. I do the same. But then, I wonder who else to thank...
Do I thank the fish I met While pumping iron at the gym? No fish inside the gym. I spoke to them outside...
Where they were caged In a transparent tank, Inviting concerned looks And desperate cries for attention.
Do I thank the caged animals At the Zoological Gardens in Kolkata? They made me finish the book With a bang that was missing.
The zoo plays a crucial role Where any collection of poems On animals are considered.
The visit gave me a flare-up
In my migraine symptoms.
But it was worth the effort.
The things a poet has to do For the eternal love of poetry.
Now, do I thank the people Who made various comments on animals?
How do I track them down?
My memory said no to this torture.
In short, I am not sure Who to thank, and how to thank them. An obvious thanks goes to the publisher For taking up this project...
And getting it to you, the reader. Now, you may immerse yourself Into a weird world of voices Of someone's pet or wannabe pet.
