An Untold Tale

Me and my room-mate
Buddies
Sometimes share
A moment of silence
Together

Sometimes
When we’re not
Teasing passing women
Making lewd remarks
All the while
Conscious of being seen
Like to enjoy together
An endless moment of silence
An endless moment of silence
When the sound of our breaths
Shout out loud
Betray our senses
And mourn the silence
Stripped of our pretensions
Of sad civility, shame
When the shirts hanging
In our cupboards
Struggle to cry out
And invade our moment
And the holocaust wind
Tries desperately
To shatter the silence
Into bits

Sometimes
The eerie silence
Can get to your nerves
And you try frantically
Desperately
To find a topic, suitable
To break the fucking silence

But otherwise
It is
The most comfortable
Moment on the earth
The moment
When me and my roommate, strangers
Share
A moment of silence
Together.

P.S : Dedicated to my ex-roomie Shamim...miss you dude!
