The drums of the Mind

Poem

Why does mind has a flashback?
What’s the point of archiving such delicate pulses of psyche?
Is it to label me as an anti-hero?
because one is sure that there is no wisdom in mis-steps and mis-dances
just bad geometries of thought.

Why is feeding and fattening itself
and getting slaughtered by calorie heavy food
and its stunt doubles.
it is easy to stay in the character
when you are the director
and the story doesn’t have the gravitas.
No pressure of being baptised by the burdens.

It’s better to delete these disqualified short films of time.
just catch the fire of life
and let yourself get burnt.
the slo-mo snags and situations
deserve an Oppenheimer bomb.
whistle and miss the missile.
