Schizoöpia

After the magic of 
My cataract removal 
And lens implant
I have Schizoöpia
A la Ajit’s Liquid Oxygen
Baye aankh door nahin dekhne deti
Daye aankh paas nahin dekhne deti

Our country, too
Suffers from Double vision
Some think that we are headed for 
The Utopia of Ram Rajya
Others that we are heading for 
The Dystopia of brutal majoritarianism

After my second surgery 
I hope to be able to see clearly
With both eyes open

As for our country
We each need to do our bit
With both eyes open
And trust that 
The great ophthalmologist in the sky 
Will restore clarity in vision
