I paused writing.
Every moment, every day
I come across some thought
I wish, I could write upon. But I paused !!
Stories unwritten; unpublished,
of people I passed by.
Dennis, the Philippine
The fat Negro woman serving hospitality
Khum, the Nepali
I paused.
Time stands confused
The black tea stinks
Air tastes salt
I am in summer blues
It is darkness, the red
concentric circles, the shots
of marijuana, which takes my dreams
I am chased. No,
Not killed
Hell !! I shouted
No, I did not
I paused !!
I am in summer blues
