Cut the line, if you do not want to hear what I’m saying.
Burn the page, if you do not like what you see.
I don’t have the habit of repeating myself
over and over again just to be understood.
Somehow, there will come a time that explanations
are not required. Questions are left unsaid
out of courtesy, while your mind is bubbling
with doubts, you need to accept me of who I am.
Like this, we talk on the phone without expression.
The heavy tone of your voice means a disappointment.
You’re definitely upset when I can’t catch you. And you
can’t catch me as we are both lost in translation.
Let us stop this virtual war. This undue vexation
of words coated in the niceties of being cerebral.
Can’t we simply talk as normal humans do,
caught in the flimsiness of conduct and etiquette?
You see, I didn’t plan to have more than five
stanza to this poem and keep on intellectualizing
on how stupid it was to win our every argument.
You know, sometimes you do not have to fight
every battles you are invited in. Just choose-
the best one. And argue with me. Fine.
