The clayey peasantry
and
the ceramic urbanites
gathered around
a lean fire
to take a break
from the alienation.

Only
the unemployed time
and such died attentions
seem to kindle the lulled lavas
lying in the nucleus of the hearts and minds.

The numberless tabs
opened in the browser
and the overlong wish-list
halted in the Amazon cart
makes life
a cartoon.

We never trust the sugars
but
surrender the five senses
even the 6th, 7th, 8th and the Nth
to the candied companies.

What a pity!
I forget this, again.
What a pity!
I will remember this, again.
What a pity!
such meditations are lost in the figures of speech.

Back to the Psychedelics and NFTs
to complicate the matrix.
I skipped the Ad and life. Did I ?

Infinity dies
when you stop counting.
Dreams sneeze
when a neuron gets candy.

Chaos is a cover that
simplicity uses to play tricks.
Deja vu is a dropped memory
of the cosmos.

Solitude is a dream
of no-mind and a scream of
all-mind.
I’m just a meme made by god.

I piss off Yin
with a spin
of the sin.

I and the holy ghost
shall find the yang
with a pistol and good TV.

At a highway motel,
I read a fortune cookie.
It said —
“Imitation is the highest
form of self-deception.”
I defied it,
and stepped into society.
as a result,
I guillotined the self,
in a choreographed civilisation,
and baptised barbarism.
turning vibrant skeleton,
into the lifeless soul.

On a rainy day,
I met a tropical cyclone.
It said —
“You cannot change,
the scripted foreheads,
and,
palmistry cannot undo,
mystic miscarriages.”
of course, I ignored it,
and walked into the traps of,
hopes, vows, wishes, and wills,
crossing fingers in,
the myth of salvation.

In a writers meet,
when my,
gums were bleeding with guilt,
knuckles cracking with knavery,
and yawning tides of sleep,
were trying to make me,
A domicile in dreams,
one young fellow,
gave away his flunkey wisdom — 
“Moneyed angles created poverty,
and moneyed demons created the charity.”
I dismissed it,
and still believed in the,
Lord — Adam smith,
the un-read, misunderstood,
god of capitalism.

On a who-gives-a-damn day,
I met a monk,
He said — 
after perspiring silence from his empty eyes,
“Open your mind, and,
walk alone,
without,
rules, ideals, ideologies,
and dogmas.”
I think,
He also said — 
adjusting his robes,
“walk without sticks,
run without guilt,
and fly without faith.”
well,
my beard murmured,
solitude is a prelude to sanity,
or insanity.
and I went home,
to cater, the conscience.
or whatever it is called these days.

-Fooling the self.

(Muse- Soren Kierkegaard)

The drama unfolded,
as the un-finished memories woke up.
writer wears the robes of rejuvenation,
resurrecting after the night sins.
he sidelines,
the sweet aroma of wet earth,
the dreams, that ruined the buzz of silence.
the,
cellist of creativity,
rushes into un-looked empty pages,
to fan-out a poem from fear,
while melting under a cold candy.
thoughts,
however,
slipped away like a desert reptile,
pulled down by the “g” force of neurons,
or by the salty emotions,
into the pockets of a foreclosed denim jacket.
writer,
still, stretches the defeat,
and travels the highways of procrastinated paths,
into the netherworld of monologues.
little did he know,
the strength of ionic and the covalent bonds of,
the null and void.
spiraling up again,
he strips the petals of the pen,
yet,
the drowned poem,
could not come out of the bottomless buoyancy,
despite,
the cranking horn of lazy breadth and the,
formatting of un-saved memory files.
probably,
it’s trapped in the tropospheric timidness.
thus,
I ended the show,
as the cyclonic heart was tired of latent passivity,
I retract,
into,
the condolence of pillows.

-Slipping into soberity.

Water was watered down
flow arrested and molecules
could not romance
with the banks, plains,
and marshes anymore.

The native man was
asked to wear the hat
of larger good
and give up land,
little animals,
rock cultures and so on
and stand for the hydro-power
that darkens their valley forever.

Sure, they were shifted or “Rehabilitated”
skeletons progressed to new homes
but the spirits keep on rocking back
to and fro like a pendulum.

Turbines gave a new life
project reports
gave a dose of concrete morals
to fishes
and the economists
called it a “Renaissance”
