Ease of passing

It takes two to communicate
And a clear path to ease the process
The sender must assume the receiver will follow
The receiver, like Barkis, must be willing

Maine tereku miscall marya
Lekin tune nahin uthaaya

Paths must remain open
Like hotlines between nations
Like the parting of the seas
Through working hours, and maybe after as well

Tu tera Whatapp chalu nahin rakhenga
To bahut lafda hoinga

Spouses and carpenters both understand:
It’s not about the two who tango
But about the music that must play on
Like the food of love and livelihood.
