Domestic atmosphere
from very early days
bore the ambience
of graveyard.
Papa, Mamma,
never talked,
never quarrelled
no music flowed out,
Pappa, Mamma
each two isolated islands
no dialogues
each indifferent
to each other
no visitors
no relatives
paying visits
except the maid-servant
she came daily
did her daily chores
and went.
Land-lord’s servants
came
did all the cleansing
jobs
surroundings kept
clean, tidy
Pappa, Mamma,
proceeded to
each’s directions
by vehicles
all reached
by evenings
lights switched on
Pappa, Mamma
to their respective bedrooms
children
each to his/her room.
House of snobs
silent always.
