Vishwa was his usual fighting self
with one foot hanging outside the casket
I embarrassed myself
standing without a pair of pants on
in Chandni Chowk,only to realize
it took only one to sound
like several people laughing
I had not noticed the oddness
of my fingers,until i pointed
a burglar the other way
Fake orgasms,i just didn't know
when they were not
A woman once looked at me
as if separating us were
this pawns we had to let die
to come together
and i did,each one of them
We did have kids,
almost all of them
had names starting with the same letter
That letter to this day
has never gained
any momentum
so i did bury her, right beside the pawns
A bench on the other
side of the road wasn't too cold..
it was visible
In my defence,your opinion never mattered
this is an absurd but insightful run which i enjoy immensely, from foot-hanging-out start to voyeuristic end))

It is art to read this Manik, like an abstract painting. I can only wonder at its meaning, but I know definitively that the color is blue.

I am doing very well Manik. Thank you for asking friend. I see daylight and it has been dark a long time. "Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple." Dr. Suess :)
