A Proposal

By Paramjit Singh Bakhshi

I propose

A dimmer

For the summer sun

And a single lever

Mixer

For wintry rain.

A blanket ban

On pain

A way to make pleasure

Rewind and play

Again.

For mangoes

To be available

In all seasons

And wine to run

In our taps

For free.

For love to stay

And heartache

To forever

Go away.

And romance

To retain its sparkle

Through night and day.

For us to keep

Our youth

Be born mature

Become childish

And die young.

For tear ducts

To disappear

And smiles

To

Constantly appear.

For competition

To be confined

To golf courses

And the bourses

To supply

Common need.

And nobody's life

Ever run to seed.

May I suppose

That none shall

Oppose

What

I propose.
