Culture Vulture

Rati Agnihotri

India

There are culture vultures everywhere;

eager to bite in the golden dust.

Dust no ordinary, it smells of gorgeous cobwebs of ancient civilisations

The culture vultures eye the cobwebs

First a look

Then a kiss

And at last a passionate embrace that sets the cobwebs shivering.

“Who are these aliens, licking me, fondling me, stroking me?

Where were they when I was desperate for hideouts “?

The paranoid cobwebs resist the exploration

While the culture vultures move on.
