Listen to poem:

In the Blink of An Eye

What happened while
I was away, 
with my eyes closed 
momentarily,
just for a millisecond,
in midst of my blink.
Did I miss something?
What did you pinch?
What did you hide?
Did you smile?
Did you frown?
Did you laugh?
Did you cry?
Did you stab me?
Did you disappear?
Not blinking makes
my eyes ache.
Give me a break!
Will yeah?
Or I will, 
yeah!
