it is simplest to write about yourself, for reasons best left unexplained..




things seem less ordinary today.

all the plants in my street lie dead, for its winter. and it is cold. another year around the sun, i go around smiling at the things i sold.

i walk in and out of many lives each week trying to catch a glimpse of what days with sunlight would be in the worthy shadows of friendship. lives in their distant selves being entwined into a lil maze of subjection and gumption, where dialogues are often restricted to conscious colourfulness, or on cloudy days - unabashed playfulness. and in the middle of the sentence, i pause and i wonder what am i doing here in the midst of the deliberate society that is pleasantness. wherein this lil forest of people who stand still in their perceptions of life and its likes, i have seen many wither into meaningless memories. surreal seas of words flowing under and around bridges made on astonishingly soft lands of reason.

there is a street in my life where i walk without fear, all the hundreds of houses abandoned within sight, not a soul. there is no ghastly sense of dismissiveness to what i see. in the little words that turn around these fingers, i mean well.

but for the things, which deem less ordinary today.
