Pretentious moth and imaginary flame

Narrative more than the art of being
An opportunity to rewrite unfinished stories
limp reality of a wimpering act

Courage and love appearing at will
allowing you to twist the history of
your own experience
Out of shape.

To help elevate an accelerating heart
to passionate compulsion
and the scream of endorphins
to an irretrievable, contorted tale of

A pretentious moth to an imaginary flame.
Willfully attracting itself to a known threat
Willfully dying of feigned ignorance
And a deep seated desire of finding,
in the narrative -
Meaning.

लाल वस्तू

महाराजबागेतल्या गुंजेच्या झाडाखाली आईबरोबर बसून घालवलेल्या संध्याकाळी गुंजेचा पाला खाताना गुंजा वेचून, गोळा करून, घरी आणून सजवताना तशाच लाल गुंजांसारखे मखमली किडे पाळताना, त्यांना पावसाळ्यात पकडताना त्यांचा पाला गोळा करताना त्यांना लाजून गुर्फटताना बघताना, आईला दाखवताना मला थोडेच माहिति होते की हे अनुभव, आणि ह्या आठवणी कधी अशृ होतील आणि लाल शर्ट घालून त्या पावसाळ्याची आज तहान भागवावी लागेल

Dirty Work

Consumption is passive. We all have to buy to live, work to buy. But what we buy is passive. Mostly only based on availability. Mostly only choosing one out of many. Mostly only harmless sustaining and expensive taste. Let other men slaughter your animals You're no hunter, let other men kill. Let others, still, clean up your dirt That job is too rich for your class. Let others spend hours searching for diamonds wrapped in the blood of their brothers. Let others do your paper work. Don't get blood on your hands, no. Don't spur war. Don't you. Don't you get mud on your hands either. You can't wash away everything clean, all the time. Just be an intention. Just be a motivation for war. No panic. Just be the 'society' everyone can point at when they try to explain civil dissonance and rigidity and violence and absurdity. Stay put. Blame conditioning. Blame lack of will, herd mentality. Blame the education system that taught you ...
