Queer, am I ?

I often do stand out

Conspicuously among the teeming crowd

Sticking out like a sore thumb

I don’t know if I am ashamed or proud

When the mob travels the path in vogue

I find myself taking the route unknown

The only difference being

Seldom it a choice of my own

As nature, oft plays the major role

Imbibing the parental 23 chromosomes

Making me a hapless victim

To the game of genomes

Differ I do, in all aspects of Gen-Y

When buddies rave about the Game of Thrones

I am contented with the occasional Tamil movie

The name John Snow, evokes in me a spate of groans

TV Series, I loathe at the very mention

Suits, House of Cards, Narcos or Sherlock

Not a seconds clipping have I glanced of

I'd rather gulp a cup of Hemlock

Coming to world of musical tastes

Can I left be far behind?

Hardly have I heard Linkin Park, Metallica or Eminem

Truly I am one of a kind

Weekend approaches, as friends rally around

Begging me to join a game of Poker

For friendships sake I give in, and for the beer

But hanging around like a lonely joker


Moving screens, bulging eyes and fidgeting fingers
That’s my lads playing FIFA on PS4
I never touched those ruddy things
Instead preferring a kick of the ball outdoors
 

MBA was spent in making memories

At shady rooms and many a ganja point

I had my quota of fun and craic

But sans the rolls of joint

Never an interest in girls, as

Relationships around bloomed profound

Some carnal, some platonic, as I remained

Tagged in 'Forever Single' memes abound

Hardly conformed to the Plebian Outlook

Offbeat and esoteric to a fair degree

I have my own eclectic tastes and interests

Vowing to safeguard my pedigree

As midnight rhymes and verses fizz with panache

Inexplicably I cease, fate and time collude

Queer, am I? Though I pause to contemplate

With this my poetry, I conclude
