I was born in Bombay, this city no longer exists
renamed Mumbai after Hindu nationalists regained
rights to revert the name to the goddess of the city
as Mumbadevi is the patron deity to serve
the Marathi-speaking locals of Maharashtra state
if my family remained in India after my birth
only I would never know the difference between Goa
never having the chance to see Huntington Beach as I
asked no one to help me fulfill my destiny stuck in
limbo like a stillborn baby never bearing witness
