The God of Small Things is Not Big

 

Arundhati Roy wrote a book that won the Booker

It was her only book her only Booker

 

Then

Roy wrote no more books

No more Booker

 

This is what makes us sad

 

Makes us think that her god

Has forgotten her things

 

This prayer is for her god

 

May he remember

The small things he saw

When he was the god

Who shared it bigger
