It was this girl
whom I met at the Arpico
one afternoon
while having a donut with my son



Hey you..!
suddenly she popped up
with a toddler in her hand
another licking a biscuit
wrapped in her skirt

we were in the same class some time back

I see your posts in FB
she said
I thought something was wrong
when you don’t upload the pictures of “him”
Poor thing…
You shouldn’t have refused maintenance
Now you ruined your whole life..!


She uttered incessantly
while checking the discount on diapers
scolding her child for licking fingers in public
rolling her baggy eyes
she collected goods


while I swallowed the last sprinkle on my plate.
