First one, then another friend,
calls from overseas, asking for news,
of UN reports and other serious matters.
I am confounded and reply,
with trite gossip of cricket scores,
the team and the IPL.
Realisation dawns. The mind is benumbed,
critical faculties suspended,
trapped in the mundane monotony,
of everyday existence,
I have become one of Them,
the obedient, unthinking automation,
another Zombie.
