"What is your research topic?"
"Natural redistribution of wealth. It's about how the blue-collar workers stand to gain when the white-collar lot loses faith in matrimony and procreation."
"And the black-collar?"
"They will accelerate the process. Without gain, sadly."

I saw 'Eye of the Needle' (1981) at that tender age when the past becomes irrelevant, and the future and the present are coyly entangled in deep uncertainty.
I knew then my love (in the future) would not let me live. That too, without me using the #needle on her hubby.
#vss365
I like to see her
Without the #flush, morn or night.
When others don't look.

I was a Poet Laureate
Till I used
décolletage (for decalage)
&
amanuensis (for anamnesis),
They still remember
Me the gladiator,
"My name is Gluteus Maximus Coitus Interruptus,
Loyal servant to my love..."
She interrupted,
"Don't #fawn
&
Stick to 4-letter-words."

Pausing the flight
To escape the blues,
There's hyped solitude
#Laced with grey uncertainty
And memories a mirage
Of mere nothingness,
Such thoughts trouble
Before scavenging,
Or call it hunt
In the epitaph.
#vss365
Why do I feel your touch?
They say the amputated is like that.
I could lose money
Or write about crime,
Why can't a condemned #fool
Change for the better?
In between the ebb and flow of moods,
Life lingers in a smile at the sublime.
#vss365
Whispered I love you.
Then, #silence before the kill.
Brain dead. Pull the plug.

#haiku #senryu ?
When I had most of my life,
I lost nearly all of it.
Nearly all, I did not lose
The memory of a love too brief.
That killed me, leaving
Nothing but the rest of my life.
Why did I put all on #ice?
It's too late now. To answer.
#vss365
I go round
the temple pond
to keep count
there's
the sublime
and
minors destroyed
innocent dead
a world drowning
or on fire
I am a serpent
coiling
before
swallowing
its tail
on which
a serene god
rests
waiting for me
to #quit
the quitting game
to accept
the end

i don't have to lie or love
for 48 hrs
not that you noticed
not the #esoteric crap
not the needy cry
i can lock myself
in a cage too small but right
for a fantasy
in which i wake up
after an or-gy with ah
i can't tell you that

"So, that's how I finished off hubby 4."
"This is not a normal first night chit chat."
"I didn't chit chat with the others. Don't worry. I won't kill you."
"Did you say that to the others?"
"Take a #guess. Why do spouses always think their case will end differently?"
#vss365
"The follies of youth
or adult stupidity-
which should I #measure?"
"Try to blame it on
the system, company or
Peter Pan syndrome."
"Be serious, Swapna.
How many loves did I miss
With word or act wrong?"
"Do you want the truth?
Even if you had done it right,
You would still be you."

Do you know why I loved her
I wanted all to understand
With her
Realized it didn't matter
A #question would be enough
Do you know why I loved her
She told me about all her lovers
Me too
Knew it didn't matter
My loves were imaginary
Do you also love for wrong reasons
#vss365
I love people who:
believe in an ideology;
vote for a single party;
think there's only one love;
read-write feel-good crap;
hate unpleasant truths;
smile for a time-filler;
etc. etc. etc.
They say
I'm too old to love.
Ha am I #turning into
an idiotic teenage rebel?
#vss365
Declared war to lose.
My New Year #resolution.
Enough of BS.

I said Hi to 2025
After #AmarSinghChamkila on Netflix
Did I forget 2024
And all the abuse I took
Am I going to take
More of that from them
Am I going to beg
When the m*F* won't give even water
I will be ready without a #prompt
Let me be honest about the real creep me
