As I drive past, I spy, in the sky
above the air force station of Bangalore,
two vrooming fighter jets,
three hedge hopping choppers,
five flitting dragon flies in mirth beyond words,
a swallow in love, with his lady love in tow;
fly in formations-
creations of own convenience,
(except for  the machines,
that strictly  follow rules)
against the big, round, magenta sun,
getting prepared
to set behind the mountains.
Haven't you ever scared yourself?
You look at yourself in the mirror and cry
"What have I become?"
Five years ago
you were completely different.
Whether you were more reserved,
safe,
you questioned from a distance.
You were observant
but never acted on anything.
Did you suddenly wake up one day,
different?
As you sat up in your familiar bed,
did everything feel foreign?
When did you break?
You've knocked me off my feet again,
I fell on the hard ground and bled.
You're cuter when your mouth isn't moving,
and your lungs stay still.
What nerve you have.
