Yesterday night
the phone rang.
No special ringtones
I ever assigned,
for nobody was special
for me, ever.
Nor was I
for anybody, ever.
So the phone rang
with the same old tone
unchanged for ages.
Irritating vibrations
tried to make it slip
off the edge of the table.
Simulacrums of me.
I picked it up.
How easily it calms down.
How momentarily it irritates
and how certainly it finds
someone to pick it up.
Anyways..
So I picked it up
"hello" i said.
3 seconds later
heard the voice
from the other side.
Sounded 'familiar'
'family'? a 'voice'!
a disturbance in the air!
rediculous language.
Every voice you recognise
is not 'familiar'.
can't be.
Some voices are heard after
three and a half years.
If you stop
associating with them
the familiarity,
life is good.

u did?!?! i didn't.
liar
well.. when still-smitten people can write fiction, why can't I?
:P
have u heard of the line "All writing is autobiographical at some level"
And besides, still smitten people who are experienced at writing fiction like that can quickly identify traces of reality between apparent fiction.
That is why i say, liar!
your no. please :D
I should be unfamiliar on the fone as well rite!
3.5 ..hmmm
[phoenix]
yeah, and i didn't say there is not even a pinch of reality!
Try getting some more experience!
i'm not liar.
[GS]
and then u complain of gay friend requests :D
i didn't mean that much! it just occured to me all of a sudden the contrast b/w 'family' and 'familiar'.

"I picked it up.

haha! what a unique description of the phone...one could write an entire poem extending those ideas...
yeah.. that paragraph was a little longer actually, but then i realised that my focus was a call and not the device. so i replaced some 4-5 lines with "anyways.."
