Nothing but Sense
Nothing but Sense
Oh, this is how I walk
Just like this
This steady, this good, this handsome…..
Isn’t it cute?
And
Ain’t I the thing now!
Now tell me,
Can you find a ‘singular’ fault with it?
Look high and low
Look left and right, top and bottom
In and out
Isn’t it a sight to see?
My walk I mean?
( What!
Nonnonno,
God
That’s just a sthupid rumor
I don’t talk nonsense
Who said so?
Lemme tell ya,
They are totally, wholly, unilaterally sthupid
As an aside,
What the hell is this thing called nonsense?
Never made its acquaintance before
It’s some sort of sense isn’t it?
(See how bright I am!)
And they say-
There are even things called the past and present senses! Man!
Now that I remember,
There is one called the future sense too!
I do them too
On the side lines of course
Who has the time to do all the senses
All the time!)
You know, talking of the world all the time
Makes us forget about our own selves
Now tell me,
What’s our binary duty (or is it primary?)
It’s to ourselves, isn’t it?
And, God I am philanthropically inclined too
(That one, whoa! That one, boy,
Is one incline that is tough!)
Everything is a little perambulatory today
Oh is it circulatory?
Oh whatever!
Just think!
How do we communicate with each other?
Have you any ideas?
Hmm, you see,
I need to talk my walk
What a fix!
Shift
Shift
Strange,
When someone looks up
The sky hasn’t changed
The sea hasn’t changed
The rocks, the trees, the snails
And the birds haven’t changed
Only the mind has changed
The angle has changed.
Odd still, as somebody sleeps
The dreams are still there
Fears are yet severe
More the nightmares
Only the view seems different
The sights are no more awry!
