Pay attention. Observe closely. Relax. And write a small stone a day.

Pay attention. Observe closely. Relax. And write a small stone a day. It was a really hot day today.

It's getting a bit difficult to write...
slowing down
you try to take it , like,
you know, slow down, just a little,
at the foodcourt,
your eyes scanning for empty tables
so you can put down your tray of lunch
you have been holding for the past x minutes.
did everyone scurry out of their rabbit warrens
at the same freakin' time?
every day?
scanning the news a little,
how can someone crash a lambo into a road divider oh my god!

Going back home after finishing work in the early ours is a bother...
early morning transport
it's 5 a.m. +
and all i am thinking is home.
but the taxis won't stop.
the drivers see
a single male
with a bag
and just speed on.
perhaps it was the bag.
after the 4th
uncooperative cab or so,
the first bus of the day comes,
it's headlights flaring.
it stops
when flagged.
the driver
is sullen,
a couple of passengers
laid in the seats
like dead fishes.
but really it's okay.

Lately, I have been getting out of bed at unearthly hours...
someone could have picked a better time
cell phone rings.
emergency call.
1 a.m.
rain
scratching
the panes.
eyes blink
mouth curses
finger presses
answer button
