Incorrigible You! Poem by Soumyendu Halder

There’s another person under the girl on coca cola hoarding –
i’m very scared to look at this
but you’re now in the bus, it’s a long journey
i don’t know why you always have problem coming to me -
everybody’s telling you “ i love you”,
and another country’s still waiting with open mouth to eat you!
I know that you don’t recognize more than 3 actresses,
first you try to remember their body colour, then names,
you can move to the body of the girl from the body of
the male actor very easily,
you tell her to stand at the corner of the room and order her to sing!
All Mrs. Biswas have to be extremely beautiful always –
i can’t understand this too,
love means a girl to you – she’s standing and there’s
a partition in front of her
and you’re leaving the place stupidly!
I’m reading your poem about me that you gave me yesterday –
“Ridhi, if you open the door of the balcony
you’ll get fresh air/ all those characters which are like
small insects now have come to an end/ i’ll lock them in the
store room/ and you’re laughing very loudly nowadays –
please stop this”
but today you’re completely silent, you’re feeling sad,
i know that you’ll talk about sadness for the whole day
and you’ll bring one guitar and many lyrics with you,
one African Goddess and one girl who is walking on the
sidewalk will also come with you!
