POEM BY PRITHA LAHIRI

THE PUPPET

I am a blind follower
As blind
As blind can be
I know not how to
Voice my views,
Hee hee.

My spine is soft
My voice mellow
My muscles flaccid
Are they.

You can ply me
When you want
I am pliant
Anyway.

My head is small
My limbs though tall
My speech is droll
Too.

My heart?
Oh, I misplaced it
Ages ago.
What about you?
