What does your confinement look like?
01:52 am

Richa Rungta


A newlywed in a heart-shaped balloon

Rising, uplifting, waiting to be popped

A bachelor in his fishbowl

Swimming in circles, solitude unlocked

A migrant in a darkroom

Abandoned and outdated

A labourer in a ketchup bottle

Squeezed until the last drop

Are you like

A family in a 3BHK terrarium

Discovering boredom within opulence

An expectant mother in Aladdin’s lamp

A rub away from magic

A medical worker in a toy claw machine

Dreading who’s next

A loner in his vault

Signed, sealed, deferred

Or

A yogi in her snow globe

Just a shake away from shiny

A puppy in a bubble

Happiest in suspended space-time

A teenager in a pressure cooker

A seeti away from overcooked

An over-thinker in her zorb-ball

Bouncing endlessly, like her thoughts

Maybe you’re like

A fiancé in a glass cloche

Waiting to be served

A YouTuber in a seed

Thriving like an early bird

A best friend in a soda can

Bursting for hugs

An economist in a morgue

Resting in, please

Perhaps

We’re all just

Strangers in an hourglass

Sand particles, waiting for a miracle drug
