Stop 'Suddenly'

 

The day MS Appts wall ruptured

I was in school thinking

That What-If is a silly phrase saying ‘please excuse the rest’

That conjunctions are a metaphor for everything I want

 

Those days, I wanted everything

From taller height to bigger gardens

From better basketball courts to more marks

From one telescope to one minute more on smashinggames.com

 

Such was the field that I occupied

Such was the force of my small window

That when the storm came

It hardly moved my pg 286

 

When I rushed out of computer lab

The air was cool, there were winds

Even the word rupture means to break suddenly

But does suddenly mean to ingest or break

 

Does it mean to wipe away a moment

Before it arrives. Every moment

Carries itself on suddenly

But suddenly never lands

 

If things are to stop suddenly

Climate will still continue dropping goodbyes

So stop poeming on stillness

Or counting one two three

All numbers are correct

 

There is no wind free

There is no plant glee

There is no longer suddenly

Suddenly, nothing happens

Almost all my returns are well timed with how the sky back at home should look

A clear-dandruff like collection of cloud should mean, I am coming to the ruffle of leaves. A cue to the coral should mean it is 7 and I am to miss tea. A well stationed azure should mean the bus will have left by the time I reach. A wind is still learning to settle what it is going to leave behind. On the roads when people spill along with brown leaves, there is a reflection Of a chai spilled, a biscuit broken — A tip to summer and an earthworm. When I arrive early, I take a longer route. When I arrive late, I am already seeing the sky at home (but at some other place). Glad that the one thing that won’t move with me will be this scene. I am occupied in looking around because I do not need to carry the sky, or pack it, or remember it forever. Also, I can’t really do any of those things. Even knowing that my travels speak to me More about home, should have made me feel adjusted. Most days, I feel Well Traveled.

Didi tum maar khaogi?

When she says: Didi tum maar khaogi? My little neighbour states the very obvious. Her elder sister has just pushed her off the back seat of their red bicycle. There is another who is busy drawing herself in circles behind the cycle. She goes round and round and round… The youngest one of them hasn’t turned up today. She is busy creating an earth on the wall below this floor. When the neighbour repeats: Didi tum maar khaogi? The one behind the cycle, Circling, answers: “Haan. Abhi plate laati hun!”
