Smallest river in the world

1.

So

I've four types of friends

Those with whom time passes by quickly

Those with whom I've roamed the suburban streets

Those that I owe money

Those that are not here

Their lies I miss the most

2.

I spotted a koyal

Who sat on a coconut tree 

Your sur have you found it?

Still waiting, the koyal said

3.

The government

Has issued a death threat

To all droughts

In this land

4.

The world

Has entered my room

Through a concupiscence crack

In the roof

5.

In my village they call rabi crops: bliss

When they sell it

In the mandi

It is at the wholesale rate

6.

A stream flows through my home

I measure it every day

It's tide, it's birth place, it's final source

It's sweetness

Today morning, I dip a bucket into it

To borrow water for my monthly bath

This loss, according to unconfirmed reports

Will ensure

It shall be declared

As the smallest river in the world
