Paradigm
Thinking of you Alex,
this noon, I let the world
pass between
my sips of cappuccino;
How,
you would have disapproved
drinking cappuccino
later in the day.
Perhaps this is -
Exactly at the moment when
you are composing a mail
about how
wonderfully free it feels
to hang by the Bandra fast local.
There is a woman next table
with a man; perhaps early days of
courtship or
an affair. I cant be sure.
She says to him: 8800
isn’t
as user friendly as 8820.
Blackberry obviously.
Perhaps
This is what it is.
Living.
A single template folded
into different unique shapes and
forms.
Infinitely.
You see, He was right.
Bloody Borges.
Play it again Sam?
The childhood of the azure morning grows into the adolescence of the perfect noon like a lady in her ballroom dress, embroidered in the cotton of the white clouds. The bright capacious light, that dances, wagging all through the distance of the baggies of green woods and over the sparkling waters and cascades through the valleys they call parking-spaces and plunges into the crevices of the routines.Shadows formed on the warm pavement are darker and distinct; the dry air lies motionless with the mutual smiles of faces glistening heavily in the weight of their consolidate warmth. Once a while a rare breeze gathered conveys the sweet of the lillies that it had gently stroked on the way. The women lovely in their cuts of bright pinks and parrot greens walk their voluptuous sways silently enjoying the admiring eyes of the bare-chested young men. Hordes of children engage in their own pleasant reverie unmindful of the grime, howling and laughing .Sweet invisible chirps are heard more than often from beyond the rickety yawning street.
As if this be just a fine tuning it rains from nowhere a few tiny droplets for a very brief moment and then the masterly rendition is repeated with the rainbow as the violin.
On such afternoons, what else could one taste but the bitter froths of the pint: many a pints and many a barrels.
Play it again Sam?
Will ya? This is as near as we could get to the sun.
