right

and I will add this point, that I do not am not whatsoever attempting to read anybody’s psyche while I’m talking to them. I may however be doing one the following:
1. doing secret clandestine experiments
2. hypnotising
3. meditating towards your direction
4. wondering how large is your brain stem compared to a brocolli’s stem
5. wondering if you’ll sprout elven [...]

love actually

lately I’ve been thinking, is it possible to awake one morning and realise that you actually love someone just that you’ve never noticed it before?In that sense, can we fall in and out of love?How is that possible? It’s either that you love or you don’t at all… Yes the feelings may go and disappear, [...]

humility

every Friday arrives knocking at my door, I know,  it’s time for my daily dose of humility. I assure you it’s no reflex to walk into a room knowing that you don’t know anything at all and have to face a bunch of other students doing physics questions. Zoom in on my lack of knowledge. I may sit [...]

velocity

I remember one student in particular, who said to me two days before the semester began:
“I’m nervous about taking your class.””Nervous about what?” I asked. “That you won’t be able to write?”
“No, that I will. It’s so presumptuous.”
“What is?”
“That I think I have something to say.”
how true is this… do I have a voice? or [...]

tat sue yah s

but today we’ll
dine so fine
and marry our wine glasses with vocabulary
dishes will spoon one another
with forks while knives jump over the moon
how food be polite
such a gustatory delight
as we ape epicurus 
and abide, beauty sublime
let’s go to kent
it feels like prom, better rent
a stretched limo
will the budget blow?
will my date show?

which is precisely what I felt I was during hair trimming, the care and concern poured by my stylist into my hair was pure artistic genius. In other news, the weather forecast for today is non-chalant with a sprinkle of sarcasm.I’m back.

Parking

we could patrol
the northern skies for snow
or just lie here
and forget the world
——————-
this knot of fingers
unravelled
under sleeping street lamps
tiptoes the narrow path
up a bouncing artery
finds shade
by the bat of your lids
some wind stifles a yawn
as traffic inhales
this streetcar - love
parks astride
the broken metre
of time

sit back new york city,pretty in the rain

new york city is everything I dream for in a city. Buildings with character buzzing with life, people bustling about busy. You can feel the heart throb of the city in times square, the excitement sizzling in the air along with sausages grilling along sidewalks. Pleasant scents of food wafting down the traffic along with madcap [...]
