Aesthetic Theory ~ Monday, 5 March 2018

The beauty of being
alive is when you're dead
you're no longer alive

However I don't know
what it means to either
be alive nor be dead

Only if the latter
leads me to the ladder
between this life and death

Under no condition
do I presume to know
how it is we can thrive

Generally pennies
don't make a millionaire
unless my chance to shine

Happily with my girl
to be husband and wife
or whatever we want

Only to break the rules
or to play by the rules
means societal games

Notwithstanding the love
and marriage industry
my own divorce was thread

Legally when I signed
the state certificate
to wed my final breath

Your love of love to laugh
in the face of morals
taught by Church and the State

Indeed the conditions
to make money in fact
is our status divine

No one knows the meaning
of life karma and death
better than one who haunts

Mumbai's streets since I left
like a doppelgänger
my infant twin who blames

Ubiquity code name
for God mortality
the prison house of souls

Mysterious language
games my deceased sister
my own fraternal twin

Bombay accepts her ghost
like so many other
dead souls flat tires deflate

As spikes puncture rubber
shells the meaning of life
cracks like ceramic bowls

I imagine the lies
I tell are pure fiction
whence I commit a sin
