What’s the harm?

By Rajnish Mishra

My mobile’s memory stores details, but it’s old.

It’s not smart, my mobile, and old.

 

I don’t delete some numbers.

They’re dead, I’ve been told.

Not the numbers.  

 

I thought to call,

once at least,

at least one of them,

then I did not call.

 

What if I made that call

Tomorrow?

Tonight?

now?

 

Is it too late now?

 

Sometimes I think I should give it a go.

What’s the harm?
