On The Twitter, Hey, Nothing To Tweet Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

On the Twitter tweet I
But the Sparrow Beloved is not
Tweeting there
And hear I not the twitters of love,
Just the mechanical men tweeting about their technical stuffs,
Tools and apprenticeships.

Modern and mechanical people
Talking about industrialization, urbanization and modernity,
Modern and post-modern,
The air-conditioned car, fridge, cooler,
Beauty parlour, cosmetics, gems and jewellery,
Astrology, assets and employment opportunities,
Proud possessions, pomp of power and glory,
Middle class hypocrisy, aristocratic birth and living,
Cinematography, painted heroes and heroines

And if this be the tidbits of their talks
Then how to tweet with those modern citymen,
Living in plazas and multicomplexes,
Skyscrapers and second and third floors,
The urban shallow and hollow men,
Chatting and taking fast and junk foods,
Like some disco jockey and journeying?
