Amid Lockdown

                                

While talking in my head

An argument persists

Many a plans are dead

Still the talks I can’t resist!

‘Family’ the newly found folks

Chatting, sleeping & cooking galore

Realised we all stayed in the same block

Watching news all day, nothing more

Neighbours, I hear them in & out

Every time their cooker whistles

While I snack on my sprout

What’s cooking? I can’t find out

I like stories on ‘Instagram’ more

Amid lockdown, liking all posts

Dusted the bookshelf and did chores

Damn! eggs in the pan just got coarse

Made boring lentils and never ate

Clicked a fancy picture with salad

Applied three filters sitting with my mate

Life is a story itself, or a ballet?

Waiting for godot, yes I am

‘Dear Namo’ come assign another task,

Waiting desperately, yes we are

Here your people, suffocated of masks!
