Poetry

I was travelling in a train. A lady in my compartment volunteered conversation.

She said, “I’m sikh.”
I took pity on her since she’s sick.
With an intention of offering beer to her as it was a terrible cold night I said, ” Take beer, dear. “
Widening her eyes in horror she said, ” I am a vegetarian, I eat neither bear nor deer. “
I said , ” That heal………” I didn’t even finish my sentence but to my surprise she placed her sandal of broken heel and said,
” Thanks for your observation, my heel is broken. ” Aghast I said, ” What made………. “
Even this time interrupting my speech she said, ” Yeah, I am a maid. “
She must be crazy I thought. Discouraging her further interaction,
I simply said, ” I see. “
Staring out from the window into the dark she asked, “Where is the sea, I can’t
see. ” I could no longer encourage her curiosity of interaction. I decided to escape from her.
Taking the towel from my package while moving towards toilets I murmured, “I’ll die………… “
She immediately said , “I’m good at that, I dye everyday”. I work in a dying store.
