"Say what you have to say with #confidence."
"Your idea of a holiday is the pits."
"This is better than climbing some mountain or going underwater."
"In a city? Near a mall?"
"I love this."
"Bah!"
"It's not bad here on this bed, is it?"
"Say that with..."
"Hush!"

Feigned #casual relationship.
Last #exhale, I love...

Why do I do the things I did so well,
When I know now it won't end well?
Like the carefree walk,
Not so careless being Anon.
Like that unknown force I used,
To make love happen.
Occam's razor - the way to solve most #doubts:
I know I didn't do well in my heyday.

The early morning light crept across the lake, nudging life into the #drowsy air, lifting a veil of mist.
On another balcony, a lady in night-clothes, inadequate like his, shared the same scene.
They looked at each other twice before going back to another life inside.

"Hi love, missed me?"
"Why should I miss you when you have been on my messenger all the time?"
"But, I was not. I was sick."
"No, you were not."
"Look, I should know..."
"Hmmm. I did wonder how you became interesting."
"Who..."
"Hush, I'm #busy."
"Ok."

But, you crept in trailing after
Her, under summer’s stern glare, frisky,
And slipped past dark veils of winter,
Sandwiched between, you were #cheeky.

I had to notice the young family. He ate first. Then, took the kid and let her eat. No talk.
What a lovely couple we were in such places. We talked. We were like that in court too, looking #successful seeking divorce.
I looked at the pool. That looks better at night.

“Your company seems to be the best company these days,” I said.
She looked at me the way her mother used to. As if I am beyond repair, forever a kid in oldie’s garb.
It’s that smile in her eyes I love and miss. That keeps me #motivated to see another dawn. That alone.

"Loving isn't easy, my child. That's not an excuse. I could have avoided hurting you, your mother. God! One good thing I had, and I couldn't control myself. #Overwhelmed? With what? Not an excuse. I won't say sorry. How can I say that when I didn't let you have a life?"

Stars still give me the creeps.
"The Celestial Creep," Ramu said, "our first serial killer. The insides laid out based on a pattern of the stars. Never a #rushed job."
We counted the patterns in the sky. We knew we could be next.
Ramu writes fiction now. For kids.

Here, B2D manage events. From birth to death.
For our wedding, we were in spacesuits. The priest too. Vows were kept to the minimum.
For consummation, she was Cruella de Vil and I Master Bates. Original & #enlivening!
They will take care of murder and disposal too.

What's happened to us?
As a tragicomedy, it is a #boffo.
Why are we so bitter?
If only the world was a lot less Kafkaesque.
If only we could quit our Mittyesque selves.
What will we be then?
The old us?
Why were we so hollow?

Borrowed from my old 'pome' 'tsk tsk tsk':
"Quiz. 64."
"Quint. 42. Thank you."
"Most welcome. #Quintessence. 122."
"That's how you are in love too. Cheat!"
"How did I cheat, my love?"
"Don't you dare call me love."
"Your time is up."
"Nope. Exorcist. 54."

The Residents Association of this ‘gated’ community was not surprised when #apprised of the award for fairness and adherence to Constitutional Rights.
They removed unwanted elements from this Utopia by denying water supply and by using caste discrimination.

Did you call me an #introvert?
Did you hear me when I cried for help?
Did you want more sycophancy?
Did you discard all principles?
Did you do all that not to be like me?

“Looks like it’s #Awaken The Ghosts day.”
“Really?”
“That one has no shadow.”
“Nice party trick.”
“Look at that one. No reflection.”
“Why don’t you look at yours?”
“Oh my god! Why do I look so pale? Need a drink. How about you?”
“I am having your blood.”

This is based on the ‘handshake joke’ we tried when juvenile.
Go to a person and say, “I’m an alien trying to learn your ways. Can I ask you questions? You reply. Then ask me the same and I will reply. Ok? Let’s shake hands during that.”
Then, ask about name, age, food, etc. Finally, “How do you have sex?”
When the earthling asks the same after explaining, the alien will point at the shaking hands and say, “Like this.”
Yeah, yeah, terribly juvenile but a good way to be kept at a distance.
