Your image flashes in my mind,
Constantly like fluttering of eyelids.
It's almost, as if, you're
Watching me from within myself.
And under your watchful gaze
I have become conscious of my
Day-to-day things.
So when I wake up and stand
In front of the mirror to brush.
I don't spit it all over the sink.
It's as if you're standing beside to
Guide me through the process,
Like a high school math teacher.
My hands reach my back properly,
While taking a bath.
Rinse my hair thoroughly while
Applying coconut oil.
The maroon shirt goes tucked in
The Light-grey trouser with a
Tie that's purple or blue. And then
The bike with a helmet always to
Protect my not-so-important head.
Sometimes,
A wishful urge comes along,
To do things differently, messy-
Like I always do--Unkempt hair.
Dirty socks. Unwashed dishes-
Deliberately, I spill some milk on
The breakfast table,
Thinking, that you would come
To tease me into a correction.
But it almost, always, never happens.
Your murky angry face,
Never takes things in hand and like
Always the next day resumes again-
As it should-
With the jeans going along
The right shoes and eating rice in
The lunch with a spoon.
