_________________ Just Because Poem by Rehan Hyder

just because my feet
are wont more to regression then
progression
just because my words
were not a tether firm
that could stop you
just because neither you
are Jahan Noor, nor I Jahangir
you can be interminably offline
and leave no mark, moan or monument
just because I persistently offer you
swatch of my skin and insist it matches

(you are under no obligation
to high-five my insanities)

just because I now cringe my neck
to pay homage to the cliff of your indifference

you might shoo me off
I know not another alley
another reality another morsel
