Another Winter Evening And Hot Tea Cups Poem by Ramesh Iyengar

Another Winter Evening And Hot Tea Cups



Would you mind, switching off the TV?
Good, Thanks…….

It is time, we talk serious things.
No, not gossip.

I talk of other serious things.
You forgot to read today's newspaper.

It is there on the teapoy
I don’t mind. But, one day there may be no newspapers.

Only tabloids.
The prices you pay may be excessive.

You forgot Marlowe, Byron and Lord Bacon?
The book shelf is dust-laden.

The dictionary is untouched. You see silver-fish brooding inside.
Your recreation is in your fingertips.

(This remote control made you lazy in front of the idiot-box)
You never even buy a paperback.
Would you mind spending sometime with me?
