BABU SASSI

Except for those who fly,
No other works so high.
With his crane he teeters
At eight-hundred-nineteen meters
Atop the Burj Dubai.

For now his cab is home.
From it he dosen't roam.
He must like it there a heap,
For he doesn't come down to sleep.
India is his other home.

A man who knows no fear,
He's been up there a year.
His worth is not disputed.
When his wage is computed,
It's a hundred K per year.
