Cartography


To my left is your bank
I know the manager has been
troubling you for signatures
you told me
I should take another left
if I need to reach the market
In that small corner
there is a small chinese take away place
that we loved
are you sure, a right from there
would get me to the bus-stop?
 
Here, oh your newspaper stand
you always read newspapers
in the evening.
would a straight from here
take me to my favorite bakery shop
that you have remembered?
 
This metro station has two exits
but I always get confused
where to buy the iron from
you showed me the tea place in the corner
do you think I'll be able to reach?
Is it important to have
lines and directions
latitudes and longtitudes
for all the places you want to go?
