[box]Coins in a purse could subtly indicate something too. Rashmee Karnad-Jani pens a poem.[/box]
In from the softly falling snow
buying coffee to keep me going through
the next few hours
the change in my purse
makes me smile
some rupees, some two
some dollars, some quarters
and dimes
just like me
all mixed up together
the Indian and Canadian bits of me
with a `small decaff, one milk please. To go’ here
and a `kitna hua’ there
and each part special
each part just right
just me.
