Blocked Nose Poem by Arvind Srivastava

The mind is gritty
By blocking the nasal passage
Ida and Pingla have made a compromise among themselves
Without any announcement

They have not touched the ice cream yet
They have not put their mouth on the curd brought from the village
They did not get wet in the heavy rain
They kept everything safe from dust and smoke
Without any warning
The nose got blocked

This was the wonder of our democratic system.
