WAITING FOR THE TABLE

WAITING FOR A TABLE

With his nice white shirt
Expansive cufflinks
Good looking watch
A sweater on his shoulders
A rich looking brief case
A small bag with something in it
Purchased from a pricey store
Waiting for a table in a trendy
Fancy cafe....Still didn't look classy

No, no class
No, no class at all

Money and class are two different matters....

UNORGANIZED

There is so much writing, so much writing
Unorganized nevertheless....

That can keep one busy for couple of years
What to do with your time after that?

Actually that question should come after those couple of years
When the un-organized had already been turned on to organized

But that question would never come
Because this scattered business of scattered writing,
Scattered papers, note books, napkins,papers,papers, papers
These un-organized papers full of writing

That question about what to do now with your time will never come.....

CAFE

The only salvation in this city for a few hours
And then the desperation sets in.....

HATE

Who do you hate?
What a question?

Who do you hate?
You have to ask.....

Who do you hate?
The answer is already known to you

Who do you hate?
Me.....

You hate you?

No, I hate me
I hate me..............

BANAL

Every reality is banal
and its banal all over
Just concentrate on your little banal life

LUNATICS

Lunatics who have made their own lunatic asylum ..JK

TWO PLACES

A person who lives simultaneously in two countries,
Who tried and failed at the same time...
Who escaped his past and didn't....
Such contradictions
Creed of self invention.....Anonymus

Origins in this country can't be escaped
Traumas which has no balm"  'Holes which can't be filled"     Anonymus

CULTURE

Habits
Values
Family breakdown
Contributes to poverty
Brokenness to his spirit
Crippling emotional trauma
A rage of generations
No level of achievements
External interventions can compensate  for the lack of family."

Problem is dense, complex, knotted."  Anonymus

PROBLEM

You see the problem I am having with you is that you
Always have an excuse and you want me to control my humiliation
Caused by your lame excuse and carry on being a friend as usual.

You can make as many excuses as you want, doesn't matter
There is a sense of sincerity, honesty which one has to follow to continue
Friendship if one wants

Your excuses, no matter how genuine to you are un-acceptable
By any reasonable person...........
