This Quarantine by Rupali Saini

This quarantine has laid bare
All our what-ifs
Man jammed with whims
Ever envisaged
A release from run-of-the-mill
And it manifested...
Now the clock is yours
No panic for tomorrow's ready exit
Is this not? we aspired day & night
My clock my time
It's no more Big Ben now

Now a big BUT materialized
After bursting bulging bubbles of
Airy claims of our latent what-if talent
The super-human has not emerged
What a Pity!

All the secret drives to probe social media & seductive web series
Now satiated but with zero complacency
It happens... Good! it has happened
Finally the gaseous balloon gives way
And we are introduced to this mirage
This quarantine is epiphanic.

This honed vision and then penetration of the hollow truths
Unleash the harsh true truths
O it's Scary!

These breakthroughs may take life or
may usher redefining
This quarantine is an evolution.
