Is It So Unlike Me?

This morning I woke up,

Switched on my computer

And felt like setting a ‘poetry-wallpaper’ on my desktop.

For some reason,

Google Search displayed only Urdu poetry.

I couldn't understand any

But, sincerely, wished that I could.

My friends whisper in my ears – yes – virtually.

They tell me these images are not real poetry.

No, I don’t ask, “What is real?”

But reply abstractedly,

“It sure does the job, after all I was amazed

And elated, albeit, ignorantly.
