Overcoming Inertia

by Hema Ravi

The morning brightness sent me
scurrying indoors
to the comfort of the AC...

YouTube and WhatsApp
fed my insatiable mind
and left me more agitated.

Later, that night
a sudden power cut -
Reality!

The following dawn,
I was up and about
to beat the sun.

I walked,
not gingerly
but assuredly.
