Chronicle Of Our White City

By Sini Jose


Clean, Clear and Crystal Cool

The white city where we live,

Pure, White, Unblemished,

Saintly, Serene and all too Sterile. 


So simple, So seductive

Chronicle of My White City

Ranging between layers and layers

Abundance of whitening plans.


Ever-vigilant, Ever-active 

Efficient systems of ablution :

Recycle binns; Incinerators;

Erasure options; Undo mechanisms. 


Undos in hard and soft

Undos in life and tech. 

Deletions on easy clicks

Select; Confirm; Delete the selected. 



Layer 1:

System updations

Call diversions

Data deletions,

Cleaned Inboxes. 


Layer 2:

Forced Amnesia

Self-chosen frozeness

Bond cancellations

Crash withdrawals. 


Layer 3:

Forced exiles

Solitary prison cells

Honour killings

Mass exterminations. 


Layer 4: 

Abortion clinics

Drop-the Baby-cradles

Mercy-killing centers

Shoot-at-sight Orders. 



Pure, White, Unblemished,

The white city where we live,

Saintly, Serene and Sterile. 

All, at the same time...!
