What a Revenge

a poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

An introvert clashing with an extrovert
Husband and wife

‘Why so many male friends’
‘Just friends, your are bosom’
‘So intimacy’
‘We are childhood friends’
‘No’
‘Suspicion is crime’
‘I can’t tolerate’
‘You have too’
‘Divorce’
‘Cheat’

He started going to cross-quarters everyday

‘I can’t stay with a characterless’
‘Leave’
‘Divorce’
‘Yeah’

She finds a new partner
He was rejected by society
