School, University, Airport, Bank and Prison -
A same beam runs through the ceiling . . .
One day you stand in a long queue
To deposit the university fee
In a bank
An airplane takes off beyond your control
One day you work through life
The penal labour
To pay the bank
Before you are admitted to the hospital
(This all happens easily
As easily as a School or a University
Is converted into a Hospital or a Prison
During a pandemic).
You are the patient, the student,
The passenger, the defaulter, the criminal -
Helpless!
A dot entagngled within
The colossal rib cage of iron and emptiness.
Just look inside those eyes -
Those Buster Keaton eyes
Hiding the pain
Under the sheen of vaudeville stunts.
