after lunch we took a rickshaw to gandhi's ashram
where in 1915 he set down his rules of truth, non-violence,
fearlessness (and avoidance of spicy food)
and in 1930 set out for his Salt March to the sea
we walked through the small museum,
peered into his old room--a still spartan, peaceful space
and i wonder what he would think
of what the world's become
