Half past 11, overtime,
I'm overworked, underpaid
"Why doesn't the clock strike sooner?"
I constantly whine
The most exciting part of my day
Is racing across the street
And grabbing that last falafel
Before the cart speeds away.
The elevator bell
I can't believe it still works
I must be earlier than usual
Oh, glorious falafel.
An empty park bench!
Why do I feel so lucky?
I check my soles for gum
A sticky mass I wrench.
Who is this woman? Why the haste?
I see through her clothes
And feel like a pervert
My eyes down her waist.
Unknown to the self, a tale is made
She's a part time hooker
Part time day, part time night
At least someone's getting laid.
I wake up from a sordid slumber
Did I imagine it all?
Who dares awaken me?
The mighty sound of thunder.
I stare from where I stand
Watching the midnight lights
On a murky lake
I see the shadows expand.

About Me
- Arvind
- I'm weird. And forever on a quest to discover the self. Emotional to the extent of confusing people. I use satire & sarcasm as a sad excuse for humour, always at the expense of underprivileged people. Music is my best friend! I'm moody and hard to figure out. I'm condemned to a life of celibacy because I am plagued by a horde of horribly complicated issues. And more so, because I choose to be what I am. I love emasculating people and leaving them bewildered. I shall warn you however, that I will always have the last word. And while you sit there, disgruntled, holding me in contempt of my crass way of undermining your power of authority, I sit amused. Not at the expense of your helpless plight, but at my unfair advantage. I'm also prejudiced towards old people, especially when they give me things I really need, like money. I have two blogs, click on my ghastly profile picture to see them.
Songs I Highly Recommend (Download Links Provided)
- Röyksopp - Vision One
- Rekevin - Peter
- David Buckley - The Mountain Of Fruit & Flowers
*************************************
Vision One is from the 2009 Röyksopp album titled 'Junior'. It is an addictive song that can grab hold of you and not let go, especially if you pay close attention to the enchanting lyrics. Röyksopp does it again with their diversity. May they never cease to amaze me
*************************************
Rekevin, a Russian band tastefully combines melancholic downtempo with acid jazz, often accompanied by the smooth vocals of Ksenia. The song 'Peter' is reminiscent of the magic Diana Krall created, but with a new age touch. This song is from their 2008 album, titled 'A Peacock'
*************************************
I predicted that the joining of Jackie Chan & Jet Li would bring about a martial arts movie that nobody would forget. But even though the movie was sadly Hollywood-ized, the score retained it's Chinese roots and is mindblowing. How David Buckley induced so much magic in oriental ambience is beyond me. But it puts you in the right kind of trance. This song is a soundtrack to the movie 'The Forbidden Kingdom' released in 2008

Reading the title, I expected something rather humorous. I am surprised at how the poem shifts. Good work.. Keep writing!
Hmmmm... I'm impressed! Its easy to write something with words sounding like they are newly hatched from a thesaurus. But this... beautiful!
wowo wow weeeee! wendy! nice stuff...i like the way your stuff just flows!

Lol.. I was thinking along the lines of funny myself, but I wanted to try a different rhythmic pattern which had to look pretty and have a spot of subtle humour too..
I don't know how far along I came..

Lol.. Some of my poems do need a thesaurus.. But they do make sense..
Once you refer the thesaurus that is.. Haha..
Thanks nonetheless.. :)

Flows? Did you say flows??
My poems are drab most of the time.. This means the rhythmic theme actually worked! Yay! :)
Hmm..
