There Were... Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

There were
Three cars
In the house

Must be
People
There too

But when
You ring
The bell
To talk to
Them, nobody
Opens the door
To you



(wrote this poem after seeing someone standing outside our neighbour's door for quite some time and then walking away as nobody answered the doorbell, though I knew there were at least 3 people inside the house as they all have their own cars which they drive out when they leave home; this could be the growing urban trend across many cities around the globe)
