IN AN OTHER

-AAKRITI THATAL

In another world, 
I have you with me, just here. 
In another world, 
I have not even a hint of your being. 
In another world,
I walk the streets that lead to our home. 
In another world, 
Sedition. 
In another world, 
Letters and words have greater weights than moments and meetings. 
In another world,
Nothing but actions. 
In another world, 
Acceleration, already. 
In another world,
No velocity. 
In another world, 
Journeys endless. 
In another world, 
Nil movement. 
In another world, 
Adage and tenets. 
In another world, 
Free spirits. 
In another world, 
Established concord.
In another world,
Incongruous perturb. 
In another world, 
Us- You and I. 
In another World, 
You. And. I. 
Might. 
May. 
Must. 
Should. 
Would. 
Could. 
Be. 
In another world,
That's the call for our duty.
