Irony

We thought we understood it all-from the day we were born .There is an  unspoken sarcasm in the way the world is made and declares itself to you. If there is no sarcasm explicitly present then there is irony all-present in the scheme of things. As though somebody up there has decided to pull your legs. That was what we had been thinking.And we thought we were one up on life when we understood this and walked around proudly with the knowledge .Then one day we were proved wrong and shown that the real irony was in the way we were led to believe that we have understood it all.

Irony

There had got to be something
Beneath all this big movement
And umpteen noises in the vessels.
We thought deep-set irony was all-present
A smirk, a delicious wink, long strides
In green spaces towards empty buildings
As though it was all settled.
That was not. Even their irony lacked.
Absence did not matter. Nor being.
We smacked lips for nothing.
