I Met Ratan

the other day,
 he was the usual self 
 bubbling and cheerful
 talking with a gusto
confirming with gestures

Half of his talk
I do not understand 
as he converses in a triple tone
without modulations leaving 
the  listener in a quandary.

He speaks of his  power 
and stature, harps on his wealth,
 builds slowly a caricature
 of himself,  he  an investing 
guru like Peter Drucker.

 My eyes  gets stuck 
 my mind travels elsewhere
wherein I see him as a nonentity 
who lacks sense, who confirms 
his  literality.
