To undo a man in India
You don’t need much
You need to drop a vowel
or a consonant
or misplace a number from
the date of birth.
You only need a click
and the power to have a click
to misspell the name.

: A misperceived pronunciation
And the man is undone.
Then a leader will tell you
the man doesn’t exist holding the
National Register of Citizenship list in one hand and pushing the man with the other
to a No man’s land.
And the man is undone.
Easily. Smoothly.
