MIMOSA DAY
I write but my mojo abandoned me.
Often do I write & I observe,
Then I observe & I write.
But not today, nor yesterday alas.
I watched, I read, I gulped
my tea, I thought then,
why not a Mimosa!
The corridors of my mind’s stretched,
stretched elastic were my cab’s windows
into the beyond.
Mimosa sang along, with me,
one Bollywood song after another.
conjuring up my temporary home,
Gateman stopped and peered
at Harish’s bemused face, my cabbie!
Who had been listening to my
mimosa-fuelled musicality and
hummed bits he could follow.
“I live here now”, I yelled, rolling down the glass pane,
then furiously hollered:
“You can’t stop me anymore!”
I then grinned as our eyes met,
he smartly saluted the Mimosa lady,
“Of course you do ma’am!”
Grinning right back, the naughty man!
I write now as I hum.
It’s coffee-time melody,
my mojo pushing the contours of
over-stretched mental corridors,
misshapen ideas now begin
to form.
I now write as I observe
I observe and I write.
A Wednesday anthem on the go
