Modern Love
Fantasizing about chimerical romances,
Gazing at carefully crafted screen nuances,
Immortalize character truancies,
Fatally living on abject travesties.
We love less than enough,
Make love just for the cigarettes after,
Cry in semblance of loss,
Hate while the sun shines.
Meme is a language, post is a sign,
Emoticons are reserved for her,
Nudes are salient for them,
Comments are screenshot histories.
Passwords are shared on WhatsApp,
OTPs are voice noted over phones,
Amazon has 2 addresses,
Swiggy knows her office lanes too.
Your songs are on her to-listen,
Her videos are on my to-do,
Their deadlines are not for them parents,
Inhibitions are shared over 4 am texts.
5 am drunk calls are common,
Timed conversations for each of them,
Split personalities for all of them,
Surfeit of bhalobaasha for everyone.
We binge half the series, leave the thriller,
Tomorrow will complete the pizza & story,
Sex can be in dimensions, sext is a leveler,
Volition is primary, voyeurism is voluntary.
