thus watching the traffic go by

	smt chitragupt sighed
	histories must be written
genealogies traced

many many many

as many...

or One will write
His story about her
her and him

			lessons learned from ekalavya's
silence

		yet there are silences of various kinds
		the silence of the victim, the silence of the smug victor

		the silence of apathy

smt chitragupt watched the laundry swirl in the dryer again later that
day

		truth is not Truth
		truths are lies
Truth is not just your truth

stories must be told
the bards must awake

genealogies traced

histories (re)written
