2:33 pm

Just had lunch
Stir fried vegetables, rice and curd
The beginning of my detox diet
No meat. Only veggies, eggs and fish from now

1:59 am

Just wrote two complete poems and erased them.
Would have been the silliest lines I ever published.

First Kiss

Growing up I fantasized
What the first kiss would feel like

Would it be magical
Like the sunshine peeping through a rainy day

Would it awaken a hidden synapse
Causing a chill run down the spine

Would it uncover still life from within
Falling out from the eyes, drop by drop

Would it be an everlasting moment
Life on one scale, its sensation on the other

Nothing would prepare me
For my first kiss

It was all of the above
And much more

Rhonda planted it on my cheek
The day I met her

They say she's not going to make it
Her kiss said otherwise

It wasn't a kiss of resignation
Neither of despair nor of regret

It was the kiss of life
She will live in it, long after I am gone

Whisper

As I lay asleep on my bed
Motionless, unsuspecting

A beam of light
Comes through the window

It carries off with it
A part that is yet awake

And shines on words
In books undisturbed

On words yet not contemplated
Neither written nor read

They have no choice
But to go off with the light

Whispering in my ear
"Get a Life BUM!"

Closer

Maggi on the stove
Doughnut in hand
An inch closer to lardy opulence.

Deceit on my mind
A lie on my lips
A sin closer to satan.

Diet coke in one hand
Jack in the other
A sip closer to nothingness.

Energy bar on my mind
Dance bar on my roommates mind
A step closer to unanimity.

My fingers on q-w-e-r-t-y
Spilled lemonade on a-s-d-f-g
A keystroke closer to geekdom.

My legs squatting under 70 pounds.
The mind reeling under Janet's perfume.
One rep closer to adolescent infatuation.

Marlboro between my fingers
Closer on my mind
One drag closer to Closer.
