About Talking. Poem by Subhadip Bhattacharya

These days of the packaged advertisements,
in the television.
When the order-taker talks about,
the possibilities.
Of the materials in hand.

About... yes..
there could be an opening,
between the words we say...
showing how relaxed we are by the hour.

Heart to heart talk of bygone eras,
seems to irritate, and about work,
or what the government has done.

Oh! They are now building a Passover by the tunnel.
The order-taker said.

Means yes, we can talk but in a reserved manner,
where the openings will coincide with..
words like..... 'them', 'they' etc, etc.

And the summer drinks for the time passers,
will put a dumb sticker on their lips. Silent is the motto,
as they enjoy the trip secretly.

Relaxed on how we felt about the service,
the order-taker takes a evening nap.
Means the openings, and that's what troubles him,
are there for sure and that is the part that,
guides him back to the music of the playlist,
the restaurants plays by air.

Meaning the openings and the lyrics of the songs,
match and co -relate,
and shows him how he will feel in heaven.
