! ! ! Sheraton Karachi (Rambling Thoughts)

Rating: 5.0


Through revealing neckline of clouds
Kinky sun expose
I wake up
Snuggled in linens of caffeine
Try to struggle with leash of life
Bite at the tightening collar of time
Step into elevator where
Other 40+ reluctant urchins
Share elusive aromas
From lunchbox of niceties
Stuffed by marital hands
The table spread to mock poverty and hunger
I hear the giggling gleaning cutlery
the haughty starched linen
the chef's heart wired
to the new exotic delicacy
with sinusoidal beats
cherries of bellboys
ripe for picking
from corner of mouth
We kow-tow to hunger
pay endless homage to gluttony
lament infidelity of belts and shirts
another day.... yet another day
at this place here which was a memorial
tall; where time began; love learnt to fly
here I am blissfully a slave to myself
free from chains of love
