TAX FREE <br />esspeecee… [? ] Sept’95 <br /> <br /> <br />Shabby, ragged man <br /> - in front of me <br />In the running train. <br /> <br /> <br />Slavering stringy saliva <br />Dozy <br />By the kick of ethanol, <br /> - and labor lag. <br /> <br />Shock absorbers <br />Worn out <br />Jolts and jerks <br />Unsteady he is… <br /> <br />Swung the body <br />Over a fat woman <br />Embittered, grimly <br />She <br />Changed seat. <br /> <br />After a vague look <br />At her: <br />Drunk remain <br />Indifferent, drowsing… <br /> <br />If I were <br />Like you… <br />Happier than me, <br />I ponder. Why? <br /> <br />His prolonged <br />Present- <br />Consumed by <br />Ethanol: ecstasy. <br /> <br />Future <br />Fused in ‘come-never’, <br /> - dreams in even. <br />For <br />Ethanol: ‘live-together’. <br /> <br />No forehead <br />Frowning, <br />Cipher is the: Mantra <br />Of his life… <br /> <br />Futile genteelish... <br />I envy- <br />Your lingering longing <br />For- <br />Tax and tension-free <br />Mindset of life. <br /> <br />Copyright reserved by the Author<br /><br />Dr. Sakti P.
