Kaadedi kavitakanarham kukkapilla, sabbu billa, aggi pulla - Sri sri

This telugu line means that even a puppy, soap bar or a match stick are not incapable of being poetry subjects.
A note about the titles in the book. They are common places that you encounter in your life. The poet's palette is full of the most familiar and obvious elements like the restroom indispensables of soap and towel.

Stacked in columns onto columns
Under columns pushed together

Into walls of shelves
Of aisles all celestially effacing
...
Of bodies that have picked
Packed unpacked and placed
in the poem `Supermarket' are reminiscent of the pepsi and cola cans which have been arranged in different colors to form human features.
His choice of words looms at you like the blocks in a tetris game. The reader is required to be on their toes.
His `Parkbench' poem is a juxtaposition of all things and events that happen in and around a park bench in the endless reel of time.
Even though the poet writes on everyday objects, he makes them interesting by discarding their static being and imbuing them with an organic quality. For example, in
`Stone Church'
Each stone is another
stones resistance

There are many cases where people have been charged exorbitantly for local calls.
ILD Telecommunications has a D+ rating.

TMobile connects and charges calls to Mexico and Canada, even though you disable international calls.
TMobile does not disable international calls for the phones added o family plan. When the billing is taken care of by the primary account holder, shouldnt the settings be default from that account.

Nightmare

I became a mother
when I feared for
your life
a genetic imperfection
between us
