WHERE DO I STAND DURING THE COVID-HOLS?!
Things are falling apart
And the centre cannot hold….
Is it breakfast or brunch??!!
Am I watching a matinee?!!
No, I’m actually movie hopping-
Listless… lethargic….drowsy…
One dialogue in Tare Zameen Par
The teacher complains about the student
“Kabhi paani, Kabi susu…Kabhi paani, Kabhi susu”
I smile as I wash the dishes – cook-eat-wash-cook-eat-wash
When will the circle give way in a tangential arch?
But I do have time- time to do what I like
Time to even postpone things, no ticktick lists
A luxury I can’t normally afford!
Where do I stand?
Like Trishanku Maharaj
Somewhere in between
Caught in the bubble of time
That floats to know not where
I know it is a waste of a lot of productive time
Yet the light upper curve of my lips convey
It’s fine.
" When will the circle give way in a tangential arch?" Maannnnn those words are hard to replace. Loved it ❤️
A nicely penned poem in which each line holds true for every one of us, widens our smile and helps us reflect our reality .... enjoyed reading it mam.
A perfect lockdown state of affairs !! Loved that humour in those lines and Trishanku maharaj was spot on😁
