A vintage beetle, traditional food on banana leaf, and found maps of Madras (Chennai) and Bombay from my late grand-uncle's collection from the 60s and before. // Bangalore, India (May 2019)
Lost on the 415
The metaphysical road map resides
In your glove compartment
Next to week old cigarettes
And magazines advertising diets
Your hand searches and searches
Disregarding the multiple pens
Aged Polaroids and wasted time sheets
My friend, divinity seeks you.
But go ahead and continue to touch
Everything besides the road map
Pull over when you’re lost
The map is always there
Happy Read a Road Map Day, world! Forget your smartypantsphones and your HIGHLY IRRITATING GPSs and pull out the old paper maps today, people. [And snag your two favorite allies, if possible.] IT IS TIME.
