I walk stoically through life
with complete certainty of arriving at
some good place... when... I don't know!

love they sayLove, they say
When I was fifty-two, I fell in love and that
was hard; I lost my sanity for the sake of love
I had been married twice before I met my
undoing, learned the rope of living a pretense of love
when the only thing of interest was sex
I was never a family man, leaving me, the women
did...

A Muggy Day in AssamThe air is heavy—
like a warm, wet blanket wrapped around everything.
The sun?
Hiding behind a cloud,
like it doesn’t want to deal with the day.
The Brahmaputra flows—
slow, wide, calm.
It mirrors the dull sky,
grey and tired like it skipped breakfast.
The trees don’t move.
Not even a whisper of wind.
Just leaves, soaked with sweat,
hanging there like they’ve given up.
The cicadas...

The TreeSome see your for your beauty
But I only see the pain
No one at all can see inside
Life travels on just like a train
So strong you are, so full of life
But there's something they can't know
Deep inside the roots, a ghost
through each season darkness grows
A face so unforgiving
guilt builds just like a trap
It sucks you in,...

SUCESSES AND ERRORS LOGIC NOT LOGIC
Every mistake we make without malice
with more ignorance than knowledge
the correct result always appears even
by trial and error and the law of chance
if it does not cause irreparable damage
... in the process... !
TO MAKE ERROR IS A HUMAN THING BUT BE CAREFUL !!!...

Vulnerability Comes In The Form Of A Hospital GownThe security guard at
the hospital admired
my taste in clothing.
I'm certain I reminded
him of himself when he was
younger.
Now, he was an old man
with a wife and children.
I never got around to telling
him, but I wished we could've
switched lives.
He could keep my clothes,
and I could experience...

At Least One Giant Ground Sloth Is Alive Again
I found it curled in the shadow
of what used to be a hospital.
A slow hunch of fur,
the color of old bark—like the forest
had tried to grow itself a question.
It didn’t look surprised to see me.
Just blinked, as if measuring
whether I was worth the glance.
I sat cross-legged beside it,
tore foil from a protein bar—
offered the whole...

I Wear You Well
You modulate my spine,
like a clustered 7th chord—
composing calm in my
created chaos—
every doubt becomes resonance,
every pain an ivory key:exact—
innovative, magic, mad.
I wear your genius like a second skin—
daring the dissonance to die within…
you are my mask… and I found
that in the score we orchestrated
I wear you well....

Memento On The MoonI’d leave a small cigar box, cracked, showing faint splinters,
buried where no one can touch it or twist it.
Inside: a music amp shaped like my ribcage,
wound with the ache of fifteen years
spent trying to be softer than the world allowed.
A torn page from a notebook no one read,
scribbled with dreams I wasn’t brave enough to...

Jousting
Medieval times
A time of splendour
With gallant Knights
Ladies so slender
Jousting tournaments
The ladies all squeal
Exploding of hoofs
The clash of steel
Enter the Black Knight
To a round of jeers
The White Knight enters
To resounding cheers
First pass no foul
They try it once more
The Knight in White
Slumps to the floor
They carry him off
And tend to his wounds
A Blue Knight appears
The ladies all...

MODERNITY
Since time immemorial
reading or by oral tradition
2+2 EQUALS 4
modernly with evolution
I discovered in practice that;
2+2 equals 5 when I pay bills
2+2 equals 3 when I receive a salary
PS. LISTENING...
