Thursday Poem

///
Foolish, Not Social
Sankha Ghosh

Returning home do you feel you talked too much?
Cleverness, do you feel very tired?
…………………………………..
Do you feel like sitting quiet in the blue cottage
Burning incense, after a bath, on return?
…………………………………..
Do you feel like wearing a human body at last
After taking off the demon’s dress?
…………………………………..
Liquid time carries moisture into the room.
Do you feel like an ananta-shayana on her floating raft?
…………………………………..
If you feel like that, come back. Cleverness, go away.
Does it really matter?
Let them say foolish, let them say unsocial.
