Our Lives

Her Life
Was like a Rohmer film
Intellectual conversations
Moral Tales
Stories told in installments
Starring weak males

His Life
Was like a Kitano movie
Limited expressions (if any)
Harmless games (many)
Humour dead pan
Creative bursts
Fireworks
And in the Eye a morbid man

Proof

Drop me a line
So I know your wrists are fine

Give me a call
So I know your brains don’t adorn the wall

Make a statement profound
So I know your thought process is sound

Show me some kindness and grace
And I shall know your heart's in the right place

The Shallowest Man In The World

finds himself out of depth

Ode To Chandler

On days when happiness was as rare as a fat postman
and you feel lower than a badgers belly,
and the hours crawl by like a sick cockroach

I met an old man who was as thin as a honest alibi and
and a face like a lost battle
and a voice that even whisky failed to improve

He asked me if i had seen this girl who
smelled the way the Taj Mahal looks by moonlight
and whose voice was as cool as boarding-house soup
and who is almost as hard to get as a haircut.

I said No.

Tall Claims (aka Fat Chance)

(Said He)
I am a snake
I am a viper

(Said Me)
you are a snake
but not a viper

you are a gunman
but not a sniper

you are the harmless rat snake protecting the grain
you are the boy next door of the next lane

His Life

sandwiches amidst whores
drinks amidst bores
numbness amidst sores
sixes amidst fours

Once Upon A Time

There was a girl who loved me
WHY??
Now she no longer loves me
Sigh!!
