When I realized,
I say sidewalk instead of platform,
wallet instead of purse and,
cab instead of Taxi,
I knew I have arrived in the US of A.
When I realized,
I roll up my tongue to pronounce,
rigor, rare, rumor, razor, restore,
recur, refer and many more “r” words,
I knew I have arrived in the US of A.
When I realized,
I have beer before lunch,
and coke after that,
'coz water is a preserved natural resource,
I knew I have arrived in the US of A.
When I realized,
the one who just whisked past,
with a big smile and a “hey buddy how are you doing today?”,
is a total stranger,
I knew I have arrived in the US of A.
When I realized,
I was shedding in the restroom,
and resting in the bedroom,
I knew I have arrived in the US of A.
When I realized,
there are two major money-making machines,
one that went by the name of slots,
and the other by the name sluts,
I knew I have arrived in the US of A.
When I realized,
in the kinda dress that women wear,
the top went as low as it could,
and the bottom went as high as possible,
I knew I have arrived in the US of A.
When I realized,
the one staring at me just inches away,
as I get ready to enter the alien country,
is a big beautiful belly button,
I knew I have arrived in the US of A.

@Tipsy,
ReplyDeleteHa ha ! Am not too sure if anyone's gonna cringe at it. But on second thoughts I shud've put a disclaimer I guess. U wanna know more about the "Unexpected" sights ? In fact there were lots. You really wanna know ?
@Neelima,
Thank you very much :o)
@aarthy,
ReplyDeleteThe trip was super cool. Yeah need to take rest. In fact I came back from office today and fell flat on my bed, something which I normally do only after 11.00 PM. And you are gonna see a lot of my experience during my trip.
@Ganga,
Thanks a lot. There is lots that I can talk about the trip which I guess I can never cover in the comments section. So, will unleash them daily. What say ?
@Sonal,
ReplyDeleteI guess my trip was too short for me to have seen the best of western culture. So, really cannot make a decision on settling down. However, am glad am back home. So, in a way that should answer your question :o)
@Kaps,
Thanks a lot. There were lots infact that I wanted to write in this poem. Toilet paper was one of them. But them this is what happens if I do not make note of things then and there. :o)
