My room has five walls

(and yes, I am not counting the ceiling).

Wall one!

It is the one with door which opens only from the inside.

So you gotta knock first to get in.

Advance apologies; You might not be entertained.

Wall two!

A window, the oldschool metaphor for freedom

with its thin iron grills and a broken pane

now serves ventilation purpose.

Wall three!

Useless it may seem, but this one is the most equipped.

With its big pale switch board crucified on it;

This walls commands the life here.

Wall four!

The proof of my existence,

this wall holds the old photographs with the pride of an artist.

I hate looking at this wall;

“Staring directly at sun may cause damage to the retina.”

Wall five!

This one is my favourite.

I could doodle over it again and again

and then hide behind the screen of my laptop.

Facebook! It’s funny to think about sometimes.
