The style of speech
teased and taunted
the manner in which expressed
elucidated and elaborated
a matter that cliches the prime
that which deserves mention
is not the speech in itself
is that of the mimicry that goes with it
not from a stranger in all
but from the own kith
that of a son in full
talks the same way
with the similar rhetoric
started as a fun
has become natural in whole
that is how it turns
finally an unexpected revelation
that of a mother to son
bequeathed in generous
passed on with pride
an affair that stands above
subjected to the familiarity
and the test of times.
