Files on PC’s

a poem by Meena Nanda

All files are to be closed
before you leave.
Although it has been fed
“Auto Cease”
but I could
neither close them
myself
nor
by ‘auto cease’.
They are timed out
before
I could
fully open them
or complete
or understand.

May be I am slow
or
they are fast…
My reactions,
need to be
locked
inside me only.
