Response to Nitoo Das' The Poetry of Everyday Life: I

The Poetry of Everyday Life: I (i)

A.C.

A flick of the switch.
A respite, or annoyance;
I bring a drop in the atmosphere.

Tubelight

An invitation.
Open to all. Or none.
Intimate, physical; public.
In broad daylight.

Wristwatch

Shackles, literal restraints.
Time bound and routinely,
I organize life,
and reveal your (de)merits.

Photograph

smiles galore.
coffee cups and airports,
White Lies and denim jackets.
Timelines paused. smiles, again;
memories and tears.
