The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair

The Arrogance of the PresentHow, I wonder, do present people not
realize that what they do has been done?
That all their new fads, their new ideas,

That we have lived without religions,
that gay unions...

The Curse of a Motor MowerThey’re motives of the weekend - they’re a gardener’s saving grace,
buzzing up and down and ‘round and ‘round cleaning up the place.
There’s nothing like the latest smell of a freshly mown down lawn,
once you ease...

Chump Change
Were you even supposed to return here?
It feels like you should be noticeably

The Soul of a Child By Satis ShroffTHE SOUL OF A CHILD By Satis Shroff

The children of my age called me:
‘Lakhe, the red-faced monster,’

The Generation Gap 2The Generation Gap
The fragile, flawless ice encased
the crumbling soil below
And with it brought bitter winter’s taste –
the seed that wouldn’t grow.
Many a foggy year ago,

Had carried it,...

The CurseThe wire mesh gauntlet made an unusual whistling sound,
Before making contact with the old man’s face.
The power invested in the swing was evident by the distance,
He flew, which possessed a certain element of grace.

not for a play though, yet a performance

To embrace sanity’s madness
I was simply...
