Ananya S. Guha- A Poem

To Whom It May Concern

To whom it may concern

I am not, I am getting

out of such fancied

office dichotomies

official procedures

of writing assertions

which have no concern.

The stamp pad glares

ominously on the writing

pad, but for those whom

I stamp my signature with

gusto, are trapped in this

circuitous haggle for getting

the nod of officialdom.

Why? I ask.

Applying for a position Sir.

Then I know what it means

and sign quickly.

To all it may concern...

sign up fast for this rat

race of lining for jobs

knowing you won't get one.

I'll continue to sign, till I retire

and then very casually apply

for another one.

Who, will then be concerned?
