Freedom Sale

We sit sipping from our morning glass of warm water.

“Freedom sale.” She reads aloud as an ad pops up on her phone.

I pause my reading of the op-ed on the Supreme Court Bhushan Contempt case and look up.

“Ye Freedom abhi khatam nahi huyi kya?” she asks.

Sometimes the questions and their answers word themselves.

“Dheere dheere ho rahi hai.”

 

The thought lingers. Clings. Grows.

Amazon freedom sale. Everything from A to Z.

The freedom sale is thoroughly planned.

It is planned to be a thorough job.
