Raising the Bar

Raising the bar By S.Jagathsimhan Nair Come along, mate, Let us cross this concourse of coincidences and pray before this ever-evaporating deity of oblivion. And offer the termite hills of our doubts at the altar of this counter-god. Placed before his liquid justice is our shared compendium of one mind two heads and four arms in the form of some kind of a binary or joke. Are we algebraically trying to tie up the imponderables like mind, head and means,or just offering up our movables like money and matrimony and immovables like kids and ****. But the new mind is a dumb platform like meadows are just mud And the means as always converges to come-what-may. Any which way, let us not go slow into our convulsions into contrition into oblivion. Inspiration:The painting ' Two women sitting at a bar' by Pablo Picasso, 1902. 24 nov 2015.

To think, today's raising is often lowering...the upside down nature of society. Another excellent write! Thank you for sharing.

this is very intriguing, jaggy, again unusual use of language, i especially like the ending...picasso is one of my favourite artists but i'm not familiar with that particular painting, i'd need to look at it to fully appreciate the poem sweetie xoxo
