Battles With Autocorrect
She wants language to express
What she seeks in Los Angeles
Autocratic spellcheck
Won’t accept these premises
Indolence itself unravels
Looking for languor in Los Angeles
Pausing, perusing at Frederick’s
Looking for lingerie in Los Angeles
While in Lahore hang watercolors
Lines that ripen meaning’s flavors
Taste lost to touch, that she is
Looking for, lingering in Los Angeles
Her dreams flip through history’s pages
Looking for Shangri-La in Los Angeles
Monkey mind has no excuse
Looking for langurs in Los Angeles
Fruitless to cut and paste orexis
She hobbles paper trails of voyages
In love of mangoes from lost seasons
Looking for langras in Los Angeles
*Langra which also means lame, is a type of mango found in South Asia
