Cooperative Winwin EarthgamesPerhaps you hear and see a yet emerging trend
among TransMillennials,
those born at end of the second millennium

war fought daily
in shallow trenches

Of late I find myself talking at length
to my dog – just “puppy talk” at first.

Smitten By the SpringWhen I stepped in here
I caught the unsymmetrical patterns on the wall,
The dark maroon contrasting curtains,
An open cupboard and
A thick layer of dust on the broken mirror
The floor, the surrounding
A damp room with...
