Winter

Dry and scaly skin

roughness all over the chin

Winter's setting in.

Windows of Perception (Aologis to Aldous Huxley

Having a terrific hangover. Yesternight, I painted the town red. Went to a brown cafe and had a puff or two. Started levitating, the earth beneath my feet, coming up to engulf me, i running away, to escape the chasing damsel. Bide your time, foolish woman, I will when my time comes, be embedded in thee. But not now, I want to soar into the skies like an eagle, away from the cares of life, spreading my wings to catch a current which will carry me far far away, with an occasional flap of my wings, till my hawk eyes espy a chick raking muck in search of a worm,little knowing that she herself is a prey of the hungry predator. This flight of fancy lasted a while till i fumbled and took out the keys to my apartment and hit the bed like a ton of bricks. There I lay, in daelightful reverie seeing multicoloured lights impinging on my cortex, stimulating a babble of words, slowly forming themselves into a poem, which in my sober state always elude me. It is an unending flow, like a stream running down the hill, nudging its way through pebbles and rocks, through thickets and sand till it gets drained in the dreary nothingness of my mind. It is all blank now. The poesy has taken a flight. Mother earth has given up all hope of claiming me. It is feeling of down in the dumps after being up in the skies. I sleep and sleep till late in the morning, when i go to starbucks for my hot cuppa black coffee with lemon. It shakes off the cobwebs, the throbbing pain in the head is gone , a placid contemplative mood replacing it like the shop assistant rplaces yesterdays stale bread with a new loaf at the walmart. Gotta go to office now to pick up the threads of a job half done yesterday. Must tell Aucke never to take me to that brown cafe again.

Giving up pot is easy, I should know becaue i have done it a hundred times !

DINGBAT

D I N G B A T

Today someone called me a dingbat. Now what does a dingbat mean? Being a D level in vocabulary, particularlyof the vituperative type, I had to go to answers.com. An empty headed silly person, came the first meaning. Empty headed? No, that is unfair, silly? yes I am a part dingbat, silly but not empty in the upper storey.

I like pictureque abuse especially when it comes from a dear friend. I take it as a compliment.And compliments are to be returned. But then as i told u my vocab is poor. So I have to take the help of the subject in which I am strong. Reminds me of an incident when the students from Oxford University went to Billingsgate for a slanging match with the fisherwomen. They went red in the face hearaing the choicest and filthiest swearwords nd abuses from the hardy uncouth fishmongers. PUshed to the wall, they took out their geometry books and starting haurling one invective after another, U Tetrahedron, U equilateral trianagle, u spheroid, u trapezium, u ellipse, u quadrilatteral, & c,. The poor fisherwomen knew they were beaten. they never heard of these before. Nor could they easily pick them up and remember for future use with their customers/competitors.. A gleeful oxford team returned to their hostel to celebrate with fish and chips! And Ale.
So I take the help of my forte, chemistry. My dear friend, wherever u r, u r a silly tarimethoxyphenylethylamine hydrochloride! U r a hydroquinone, u cannever ever become a methhylne diamine or an ester (esther williams) U r doomed to be a cyanocobalamin for your life!Dont ever aspire to be a an aldehyde. U will ever remain a ketone. And if u ever cross swords with me again,I will subject u to a Hoffman's degradation and take the gas out of u.
NOw who is the dingbat?
