Trolled
by Contradictions
A rush of blaring
ambulances on an empty street,
A prinia chirping
happily on a bamboo thicket,
A gentle breeze
shakes everyone alive,
Knocking on buses and
cars that became archive,
Traffic snarls around
a medical testing camp,
One man cleaning up
hopeful of reopening the office canteen,
A 50th
wedding anniversary rings and rhymes,
Friends and family
gather around on face time,
A perfectly round roti,
A pantry practically
empty,
Two fast friends
converse on the phone,
Sad news travels
through the wires on both ends,
Farmers’ have a
bumper crop,
Golden grains stuck
in the wholesale yard drop,
Fresh chemical free vegetables in numerous
crates,
Rots as city’s
wholesale market shutdown in a haste.
