Rajkumar Mukherjee - BORDER CROSSING

BORDER-CROSSING



you can’t cross the border in the morning

then she forgets salt

or put it twice in curry

water remains to be filled up for drinking



you leave for office in a hurry

without glancing thru the headlines

you miss the daily routine train

friends leave without you

you fail to participate

in arguments, be it cricket or politics

your chance to play card is also lost



attendance register is marked red

you feel a shortage of good reasons

before x-ray eyes of friends

your eyes search for your toe-nails



but the mind always looks for

something beyond the routine

like a caged bird

to spread wings to blue sky

all the moments’ hours daily
