Veena accepted and we sat down
To chat like two normal friends.
There was nothing between us,
just two glasses and a jug-o water.
My phone was locked in the cell
of my pocket, hers was silent,
absent from the room we sat in.
We talked like an old fashioned couple.
It was unusual, but we actually spoke!
After ages I felt the effect
of affection welling up in my chest.
I may live sixty minutes longer!
