Those Bloody Idiots Poem by Arun Maji

They asked me
How was the movie?
And I told them
"I don't know".
So, they laughed at me.

Tell me
If I was only looking at you,
And playing with your hair
Fingers
And lips;
How would I know
How was the movie?

Movie was just an excuse
To have you with me
For two long hours
Uninterrupted.
Had they known the beauty
As you are,
The fragrance
As you are;
They would have never asked me
That stupid question.

Those bloody idiots!
