BABIES AND MIRRORS

I found my new zen guru,
she is three months old .

She guides and teaches,
‘a crash course on realism’ .

Guru edits all my writings,
checks whether ‘real or not’.

Yesterday I wrote something
and submitted for approval .

“Mirrors and babies are alike
both return ‘smile for a smile’”

She didn’t smile but just yawned,
it was nothing but cold rejection .

Fed up with ‘realism’
I said, “Real is shit”.

Suddenly she smiled ,then giggled
my hands felt the ‘ real zen lesson’.

While washing,
I corrected myself .

Babies and mirrors are alike
both can invert anything!
