Poetry

1. AN EARNEST PRAYER FOR EVERY OTHER HUSBAND ON THIS
EARTH.
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the general condition
of the environment around; and as every source of media proclaimed it to be on the
ghastly brink of extinction,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the brand new recipes
that she'd voraciously browsed through; in every cook-book that she could lay her
effervescent hands upon,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the epidemic that'd
taken sinister proportions in the society; the horrendously agonizing anecdotes of
several in her invincibly close-knit kin,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the overall weather
being one of the most acrimonious in the country; and her plans to liberate at the
fastest possible to a cherished utopian land,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the current trends of
fashion and opulence in the society; and how miserably divested was she of virtually
everything on this vast planet,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; how obsolete she
perceived me to be-though I was glowing with hard-earned success; just because I'd
tread on the path never ever taken before on this planet divine,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; every move and
decision that her revered parents took; at times going to unfathomable depths to
solve any familial misunderstandings; whilst I sulked in raw sunshine,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; what an indescribable
revolution she would bring in the life of every divested soul alive; by impartially
distributing the entire wealth of this planet to all alike,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the gravely
unsurpassable amounts of dirt that she'd most tenaciously extricated; from the most
obsolete crannies of our already spic-span home,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the inexhaustible
myriad of soap operas-game shows-spell binding documentaries; which she'd watched
in each spare moment of hers,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the headlines; gossips;

2. spiritual sayings which she'd read in every bookshop; as reading was one of her
alltime favorite pastime,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; all those established
celebrities and luminaries; all those upon whom the media was extravagantly onto;
silencing all in vicinity whilst listening to her favorite star interview,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; every like and dislike of
our kids; wanting them to accomplish only her unfinished dreams; as she considered
every of my talents and works as disdainfully imbecile,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; me being a complete
misanthrope and wretched misfit for the society; wholesomely lost and absorbed in
my own poetically fantasizing musings,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; my ruining every
element of her otherwise victorious life; indescribably denigrating me to lifeless ash
whilst comparing me to other husbands in her sight,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; fossils; shells; and
virtually every mystical and artificial carving on this Universe; going to painstaking
depths to study the elaborate etymology of the same,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; her father's once upon
a time 9 to 9 unsparing life; the innumerable droplets of sweat that he'd shed to raise
her; whilst all I knew in comparison was staring at insouciant bits of blue sky,
Nineteen to the dozen and an infinite lines did she talk about; the stories that her
friends; followers and well wishers had recounted to her; and how desperately did she
want to make an enlightenment into every aspect of their bizarrely hapless and
solitary lives,
And whilst I appreciated and respected all her talk; O! how I wished and wished and
wished; that atleast a line out of the infinite she spoke to me was asking me as to
what I did in the entire day; asking me to recite the fervent lines of my poetry on all
creations of the Lord; asking me as to how the rhythm of my tender heart felt?
Anyways; though I knew it was virtually impossible for it to happen this way
-naturally and of her own accord in this life; I earnestly pray to you O! Omnipotent
Lord; to make it happen in every other impoverished husband's life; so that unlike my
sole urge to die this very instant out of sheer indifference; he feels more ardently than
ever before; to be reborn again and again and again .
