head moves to n fro,
clutching with teeth, to pull n throw,
That filthy fog wants to eat something from the garbage.

White-collar

Bubble trouble, inside-outside,
Sit waiting for the monthly check,
Cluck! cluck! cluck!

Bullet cart begins - dug-dug! Dug-dug! Dug-dug!

Balance

Meeting, money, deadline, stress!
Relax, love, life, easy!
All work, no life, no balance!

Eyes

My eyes shut- color, flowers, smiles, love;
My eyes open - Laptops, mobiles, printers, telephones;
Type type, click click, tring tring! Grr!

Rima, Mumbai

Parrot

trrrrrree! trrrrrreea! trrrrrreea!
Trees around; third round... huff huff huff...
Can't find the parrot.

Know?

No body comes here!
No more, no less to cheer
No?

Dream

he touched like a feather, he slept like a breeze
he felt like a spring, and eased through the trees
trrring trrring, he woke up

Once in a while, I walk the same path;
And try to remain same despite maddening wrath;
There goes the man who does his own work without being bothered.

Squirrel

Sqwik! Sqwik! Sqwik! Cawe! Sqwik! Sqwik!
Passing red tomatoes, green cucumber, yellow lemons...
Good morning!

The Girl

its fluttering and.. its eyes,
its stuttering... and it cries,
manipulative girl

************************

her cure, is a pure, thwack on the head
she tries and she dreams, ever moves ahead?
silly girl

************************

loving like a lottery won
exhilerating momentary fun
love, unlike lottery stays

************************

no words can fill that gap i know
not trying here, ever so sure
walk along

Insanity reigns, suspicion thrives...
Fires spread, malice strikes...
And there lies the dying kid with blood around.

Butterfly

on grass, on little palm, between cycle-spokes
fluff! fluff! fluff! fluff! fluff! fluff! flies the butterfly
good morning!

Crawl

Crawl - silent, surreptitious crawl,
On the calf, underneath the jeans.
Thack! out drops a little frog.

Craving

kiss and tell,
only a kiss can tell
reach out tenderness!

Meetings

Issues, problems
Meetings!
Bigger issues, bigger problems

Stay

Music, longing, noise, silence dies down... but the sounds stay
Pain, sweat, tears, dreams dry down... but the taste stays
Running, escapes, caress, boundaries tear down but the touch stays

love

disscussions, arguments, altercations,
i, you, they, why, go, stay
love matters the most in life

Office

Chatting, Coding, Mailing -
Tik Tik Tik Tik Tik...
Typing all the way.

Self Uncontrol

self uncontrol, a storm in the mind
forced, fearful, frail thoughts
silence at 1561, park street

Window

sitting, typing, cramped beside the window -
cluck cluckcluck cluck cluck cluck! thack!
whiff of cool air brushes my cheek...

Hope

Damp hopes and a memory -
three kisses and a ride -
Ting tong! the doorbell rings.

Runner

Sweating and heaving running along,
Dry leaves crushing, making noises strong...
Crrrech.. Craaaw Creeech Craaaw..

Refuge

heavy heavy sky, downcast,
ghrrrring ghrrrrrrrrrrrringh were sedans, trucks, buses.
glimpsed her feet - fair, laced, svelte

Crow

Cawe! Cawe! Cawe! on the window grill...
Heavy drops touch solid earth.
Drenched gurgling memories...

Frog

auto-rickshaws run stutter tutter... putter tutter.
black waters -
Croak... croakcroak, croakcroak...

Sparrow

Clank clank! tak tak tak... peepeep... peep! Claaaaaaank!
Amidst concrete and metal;
twittetwitter... twitter...
