Definition of Self

Definition of Self

I am just a number.

I am a statistic on a corporate spreadsheet.

I am a data point for marketers to sell.

I am a profile for the government to monitor.

I am a nameless figure for cameras to track.

My life has been reduced to mere

ones and zeroes.

File names and report headers.

Here in the digital dissonance

I am no longer human.

DANCE

DANCE

Can I take you to the poem?
He asked again

We can dance to
The stanza

Spend time with
The rhyme

On the dance-floor
(As metaphor)

Are you into me
Like, as, a silly simile?

It’s synecdoche
Your dance with me

Aditya

He is quiet and confident
Always does what is right
Quite a conversationalist
When relevant

Believes in keeping to himself
In a place of unknowns
Knowledge and wisdom his strength
Diligent and optimistic an achiever in life
Simple and good at heart
Understands and complements mine

Loves romantic songs
I am just the opposite
Can’t stand any
Retro is the only station, we listen to together in the car

Has little understanding or
interest of what I write
Yet, always listens to/ reads my scribbles
Our choices and tastes opposite as can be
Not, when it comes to matters of heart

Wrote it for my spouse, Aditya, for his upcoming birthday( 6th September)
