^ Twice ^ Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

<span style='font-family: times new roman; font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-weight: normal; '>When I visited<br />
Spain twice<br />
He said it was<br />
Nice<br />
But asked me<br />
To visit a  <br />
Different<br />
Country<br />
Instead of the<br />
Same country<br />
Twice<br />
<br />
I' ve heeded his<br />
Advice and have<br />
Visited so many<br />
Countries since<br />
Then...<br />
<br />
But now, he' s<br />
No longer here<br />
With me, to say<br />
<em>Mamoni, it was<br />
Nice, you heeded<br />
My advice.</em><br />
<br />
' Cause<br />
He' s gone to a place<br />
So far away....<br />
That I can' t even  <br />
Get there to see -<br />
If it' s nasty or it' s<br />
Nice<br />
<br />
Not that he wanted to go<br />
But he got sent off on a<br />
One-way ticket to that<br />
Ambiguous place, after<br />
His demise</span><br />
