Rags Poem by Sachidananda Panda

I had never been alone
Silence and loneliness
are my twin companions
we enjoy moments stale and tall
fence sitters at large and endless trolls
Despite the presence of others at large
Watchful eyes and Sneaky moves
Often have remained as shadows around

I took pleasure being there for them
Was little straight on face
To call a spade a spade
Being a fool as always, I am
I strolled around amidst the swarm

The nuanced cluster thought as own
They are part of the show
And I am the king
Never knew When I left myself on the way
In the epilogue of the ‘Mela'
When was playing loud
I discovered my hands
Full of collected rags
