We all of us
individually
stand in front of the mirror
in the public wash rooms
also nude at home bathrooms
so we can only see
the out lined me
nothing beyond
I care to observe
let me be the centre of attraction
at which I am now staring myself
‘stark nude’
in reality we all are naked
(I won’t say shameless)
only to shield our inner self
we conceal ourselves
in garbs of silk andcoloured too
Kashmir silk shawls with trinkets
will do
then we step out
UN-bathed
perfumed
Ah
what a lovely bath we had
not a drop of water was wasted
the mirror calls back
Sir at least wet your head
or all will know
where you did crookedly grow
Master Ph D are thee
as mostly all are we
equally
the mirrorcracks voluntarily
no evidence please
let life remain a mystery
just please me
say
P O D
