I can hear the busy life of a fellow human being unfolding just outside my room. I should not be overhearing even if is not disturbing my mindset at all. Like a careless child, I lay face pressed against the pillow that’s clutched firmly by my hands. It almost makes it seem like I am worried. Am I? I do not know. All that I can feel is the numbing sensation one feels right before sleep sets in.
The fan makes its rotation felt. It is not a disturbance; it is just a desperate call for attention. The arcane sounds from the woods outside my window have subsided. Or have they stopped affecting me?
One of my eyes sees the world around; the other shuts itself and lies buried. The open eye aches at times; the other has always been numb. Bikes whiz past proclaiming their blaring engines in a vain attempt to tease me.
I have given myself up to the play of Time.

Feels different.
I like to play with time ;)

@Viajero
ReplyDeleteReally? What do you both play?
I have recently started to record the infinite lines that surge through my mind at the drop of a hat.
my chaos doesn't need wordly interference. that's the only difference.
ReplyDeleteChaos still lurks in my head as I'm reminded of an almost similar thing that had happened. Just that it was my ac calling for my attention then :P
ReplyDelete@Abhishek
ReplyDelete:) I wonder how that feels.
@Prakash
Bravo! What a classic example you've got there! :P

ReplyDelete:D Thanks, plucky!
it's pretty simple, you think too much, crash late, wake up uneasy, feel sleepy throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteThere must be something more to life than what we see around us ... mechanical monotonous motion ..
ReplyDeleteChaos theory? :D
ReplyDeleteI have given myself up to the play of Time.
Awesome line!

Is it worth finding what that is? MMM is the rule of the day. You go against it; you are weird. Period.
