The List In His Bag
Two rival boys, one flood, one bedsheet on the floor, and a page drying on the terrace.
Gopi gets 89 when I get 88, wins the race when I lose it, and has a cycle with gears. We speak only to say out or not out. Then the August 2000 rains flood his street, his family moves into our house, and we are given one bedsheet in the hall to share.
