Attachments Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Attachments

Rating: 5.0


A plastic bag without a handle
A pair of straps without a sandal
A briefcase with rusted locks
A pair of old worn out socks
A never used candelabrum
An empty jar of finished gum
A broken door iron cage
A lost book's tattered page
A piece of cloth insect holed
An old calendar neatly rolled
A fluorescent light long dead
A clay puppet's broken head
A fountain pen sans its cap
An old atlas dusty map
A bunch of cassette in tin box
Nails and screws unused locks
Cable tape wire and plug
Grandpa's brolly faded rug

Can't disown throw them out

Fond attachments without doubt!

Whatever holds meaning for us, we must hold onto, no matter how worn or tattered. Certain articles are alive with memories, traces of love, bits of happiness. How can they be discarded? Wonderful poem.
