Terms Of Trade Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Terms Of Trade

Rating: 5.0


No depth you say?

No depth at all

Just skimming the surface?

Yes, dull, uninteresting

How deep would you like it to be?

As deep as Mariana Trench,
As deep as the space

And not simple?

No, something puzzling, abstract, obscure

Like our mind?

Like our nervous system,
Like the electric pulses going through it
Complicated, unexplainable, mysterious

Done, you will have it!

No depth at all... just a skimmer! Yess, you are absolutely right. An excellent poem.
