I kicked a stone on
An empty road.
It rolled around tumbling
And disappeared on
The sidelines.
I kicked another that
Rolled to the wheels of
Approaching car.
The driver threw at
Me a fiery look.
I took one more in
The line of action.
Upon a kick it,
Took off to hit my
Friend in the head.
Now he's on the
Hospital bed.
Who I am? He asks.
I smile awkwardly
To hide my deed.
Years and years later,
When he realised
It was me. To return
The favor, he kicked
A stone at me..
Which bounced off
A running truck and
Hit his head again.
Who he is? He asks.
Looking at him, I smile.
His pending revenge,
It might take a couple
Of years again..
While another stone,
Might be waiting for him-
With his name written
All over it.
