SANE MAN
Hey over
there
Look at me
waving at you
I see you
mumbling to yourself in dirty tattered clothes
Are you
speaking to your soul maybe?
Sometimes
quarreling the whispering trees
I wonder
why? Or you heard them gossip harshly about you behind your back?
But maybe
they don’t sway in the right manner they are supposed to
Like a
naughty campus girl in a short loose skirt with a hot intention on a freezing Friday
noon down the hallway
Those bugs ..
.how do you live with them? Don’t they bite you?
They look
fat, you must be healthy and full of nutrients
Maybe you
just an extreme insect lover while I am the phobic here
And what is
that you eat?
How are your
intestines comfortable with that?
Do they have
eyes like mine? Do they see?
Don’t tell
me they don’t have a voice
Mine have the
usual trippy feminine sensitivity
Sometimes
the growls would tell you I ate lions
Yet I only
was at TACO BELL, KFC and DOMINOS
Nothing else
apart from tasting Suzie’s SUBWAY foot
long, salad and the latte from
STARBUCKS
in the morning at the office too
Yesterday
before the thundering heavy downpour
Saw you cuddle for warmth beside your precious
dirty sack on the verandah
Is that all
your wealth?… You look comfortable
You own nothing and yet don’t want everything
So
selective, picking this and throwing that,
times not,
Everywhere and
anywhere can be your home
I guess that’s
why I see you everywhere in town
A wanderer ,
you still don’t know what you search for in life
Just like I,
maybe am not sane too
Now look at
me, listen to me buddy
Teach me the
secrets of happiness
For you look
less troubled
Not mindful
of anything else but you
Your head,
your world
If you could
get angry, what would it be at?
Sanity
right?
Would this
madness tell you to throw a stick at a
dog?
No I don’t
think so maybe the sane do
Please
familiarize me with the code of your tongue
How to listen and whisper to the winds
And how to
step on thorn and broken glass bare feet and still not hurt
I might be
mad thinking you the one mad
What
happened to the brain in your skull?
Could we
exchange our heads for a minute?
I just want
to feel how it is for a mortal to be
sane
Or if its
true that only our degrees vary
