A CONVERSATION

         I rushed to attend the call “Hi! Who is there?”
        “How are you going on My Dear!”
        “In which respect do you expect
         my response? Let me hear.
         Regarding my health, you caress?
         Or my mental restlessness!
         Or about any
          domestic monotony?
         Or apprehending disturbances
          in my circumstances?
          Or disinterested totally!
           Call is mere a courtesy.”
         “Why do you enjoy just
          to hurt me. I am introvert.
          You know, I can’t help
          to express myself.
          But you are aware
         of my passion, Dear.”
         “No. You are passive.
          Emotion may be massive,
          but hidden in core of heart
          Dear, you are so inert!”
         “Since last week
          I could not speak.
          I am eager to listen
          about your weekly bulletin.”
         “Cover story of my news letter
         shows till you are not intimate
         to me, you know that better.”
