Poem
I locked the door, I'm pretty sure I locked it. But in the early morning it stood ajar. Memory lane - I came, I smiled, I grasped the handle and drew it shut and..turned the key...SURE I SHUT IT! "Well..may be I never shut it at all." The phone rang, I got up the bed and groped around in the dark. 'Hello" - no one answered. I staggered to bed and dropped to sleep. In the morning, I checked the indicator - no number there. Memory lane - I was sleepy, it rang once, twice... My eyes opened. I saw a chair.The chair was here...So? "Oh...may be I had been dreaming. It's ok." I handed my purchases at the counter. The salesgirl smiled at me, she was waiting for me to pay. My purse, where was my purse? He said 'basket', just as I saw it in the empty basket. I tended a large note to the salesgirl and turned to say 'thanks' to him. But there was no one. Memory lane - I'm sure a man said 'Basket", the voice was assertive and mature.. "Never mind...may be it was the salesgirl's voice!" I clung standing in the bus, I gazed tiredly out at the bus stop..many people were there. The bus heavily drew forward, more people had come in. I saw a glimpse of Dad standing down the road. "Dad?" I gasped. Everyone looked at me suspiciously. "Hey stop!". I pushed my way out. People were muttering. I was running back down the road. No one - certainly not Dad. A car stopped screeching. My neighbour dropped me home. Dad was watching TV. "Where were you?" He looked at me perplexed. "Watching a movie since an hour!" Memory lane - I saw dad standing there drawing away slowly as the bus moved. "Its all right,.. may be I'm very tired!!!" 16/05/16 Featured on 5/06/16
