Meenas Poems
A premonition
could be from an intuition
reveals a recreation.
A recreation
could be from an insinuation
records a retribution.
A retribution
could be from an instigation
refers an installation.
An installation
could be from an election
registers an information.
Fair and foul
plays the wind
not only the wind
but the mind oscillates
between fair and foul
a Hamletian dilemma exists
virtually foul wins over
as fair comes behind
it drags and delays
tests the patience
while foul is upbeat
charms and entices
holds with a tight fist
wins over in a wink
that be the speed of foul
as all things bad
go with a rush.
It is my grocery day
walked out with my big bag
took a five hundred rupee in hand
felt I had a lot of money in my pocket
reached the store well in advance
the doors remained closed
sat there for a time
watching the passers by
the grocer came rushing
apologising for being late
in went I with my bag
and my five hundred rupee note
handed my list to the grocer
he went through and looked at me
strange was his look and perplexing
he said in a subdued tone
this amount would not do
require another two five hundred
I was taken aback and stood startled
never mind he said in a lighter vein
I would pack the things
you can pay me later
my face fell down in shame
well, in which era I am
