Selfie Poem by Pallab Chaudhury

…Self-love looks for a selfie.

Each of inner and outer parts captured in pixel
Is a marvelous translation work…

But who am I…mine own worth do define.
So, when the touch-screen shows myself
Punctur'd or chopp'd with tann'd antiquity
I wish to delete them all
Or even throw the cellphone out…

…Selfie means partiality;
With self-love and to praise self
By keeping the other's beauty on the background-
It's a digital photo-archive of the current time.
