Being in close embrace
With unspoken affection
Our snow coats
Keep an eye on us
Giving a stern look
No hand-cuffs
No guard around
But, it ain’t got
Any freedom either
Fan
Button is pressed
It spins

Button is released
It stops

So,
Does the Fan
Know it
Pulled in this way,
Pulled in that way
As if they are trying to
Hurt the rope,
But, rope isn’t the one
Who's getting blisters
Surely,
We are children
Of Mother Earth
Isn’t it because of her DNA,
We spin so much

Maybe not;
Mother has a fixed
Axis of spin
And we?
Wet soap bar
Slides through
Slippery fingers-

Falls on dirt
Again, and again

Wiping its dirt out,
It’s getting picked up

With the same
slippery fingers

Again, and again
