the coffee got cold .......................

and one morning the media woke .. shook the yawn off its drooling mouth
and poured itself a hot cup of coffee
and thought ......

enough with the camcorders voyeuring all around the place
enough with the shanky affairs
enough with the party divides
enough with the bribe
enough with the contortion
enough with the scoops of gossip
and decided to concentrate on a more global cause :

"the city is full of bakeries and the country is full of cities and wannabe-city-villages
... most of the bakeries are named " zam zam"
how come?"

trot trot trot
trut trut stop
look up tiptoe
look up scurry
gasp hide

smuggle
scare

stumble
swim through shallow depths of smoke
suddenly
sok poof pow

sink up shoot
scuffle in the shambles
scream

scary, secrets

shameless, hung the skull full o' scum
shampoo bubbles on top of the skull, still full of scum
skimp
open sesame
shackle free
skate skyward

sitting in the railway station on a sunday afternoon

mood : autumn
grub : rava dosai and coffee at an udupi hotel
book : the flying circus of Physics
song in the head : Nedanuri singing Thodi with no accompaniment
math in the head : sankeerna thagimpu set to 64 beats
want : to explain the math behind a sankeerna thagimpu to somebody
need : a different mood

gum sticks

chewing all day long on a gum stick
tasteless now
chewing still
... winding thru some hopeless passages .. nostalgic
song in the head " old friends " "dangling conversation"
staring at a blank unix session .. that reads me no dark secrets
feeling like a cow tethered to a lamp post

images from the movie taxi driver .......screen past .......

the narrative fills in
fades out

traffic zooms past
