Discommunion

I walked down to the roadside shop
I lit a match, and lit a lamp.
The unrest in my bones was just
This uneasiness, old and damp.
So that is why I took my things
And set them sail on a paperboat
And slowly walked out of the shop,
And apotheosised on the nameless road.

It is not good or bad. Like all things, it just is. I do not claim to like it, as some do. Quite the opposite, in fact. :)

Just that I am versed well in the subject.

But it does contribute to insight. so you dont just live on the surface. ?

Dhruva said...

Well, I try to. Not that it works, always. But I do try. :)

What about you, though?

jiya said...

well i dont have a any great claims to intellect really. But its fun being an observer/bystander. And this is the longest conversation ive had in the comments section of a blog!

Dhruva said...

Blog comments sections are not the ideal places for conversation. :D

jiya said...

Yes. But its bad form for a secret admirer to ask for id's or give them. wouldnt you agree?

Dhruva said...

Absolutely. Then it would not be so secret any more, would it? :D

No. Googled it. Might get around to reading it at some point. Presently reading The Piano Tuner and Holy Cow. Will read The Men Who Stare at Goats after that.
