Short Intelligible Poems

some electrons have been here
since the beginning of time
electrons prove their reality
by making "Big Bang Theory" intelligible
by turning a subatomic nebula
into Sheldon Cooper's face
locked in Hare Krishna trance
living room of decadence
sinking into deep abyss
as our skill in physics soars...

The apartment leaks footsteps,
it’s hard to avoid their featherweight padding.

Fabric and pith teach
walls how to speak;
fragmented recordings
that always threaten to utter
something intelligible.

Ears question,
closed eyes grope for answers.

They abide --- the indwellers,

they nightly rearrange,
whatever you thought was yours
as you daydream of being real....

The apartment leaks footsteps.
Ghosts avoid their featherlight padding.

They dwell in the fabric and pith,
teaching the walls to speak;
fragmented recordings
always threatening to utter
something intelligible.

Who are they, what are they?
Such questions
only arise under closed eyes.

They abide

they arrange and restore
whatever you thought was yours
as you dream of being real....

I scratch symbols out of a matted beard.
Fingertips as smooth as wave-worn pebbles
rattle on an invisible shoreline,
the sound is a kind of speech
a language that only spume and spray understand.
Seven days a week I listen;
rarely does the water translate
any intelligible meaning.
Nevertheless images rise
like dead half-eaten fish.
I pick at the bones and wish
for more impossible things....

A sudden shift in human beings
     Not intelligible for animals.
     Started gaping at masters’ masks
     And noticed them frequently washing their hands. 
     All were confined to houses
     Fluorescent nights and empty roads. 
     In the dark silence of eerie,
     It was like a dumb city.
     A stray dog’s plight,
     Moved here and there to quench its appetite.
     Bins laughed dryly at the beast,
     Bequeathed a fist from my feast....

she knew something was wrong
I try to explain
words try
they bend around the sharp curves of emotion
but break in the attempt
they slip and slide
on my tongue
unable to catch any of them
in order to form an intelligible sentence
they almost made it
but died on my lips
unable to speak
I text her
still unable to explain what I feel
my heart knows nothing about words
so the text she got says :(

"him?"
I nod
she always knows
that's why shes my friend...

medium
 of necessities
in
the compass
   of 
      instinct
by
  the contemplative
reminescence
of
    coincidence

a stimulating
             force
of
a solitary
                 sound
of
an intelligible
                       echo
becomes...

a birth
   of ideas
              in spontaneous
thought
in fortuitous
chains
of circumstance

an anticipation
in chance
    atmospheric
        aurora
enigmatic
  yet prefigured
happenings
