To that first strand of Grey....

That pointer to agedness.
Bridge between cradle and grave.
Fine line between ode and dirge.
It is wisdom. It is senility.
Subtle reminder to how on earth, we are briefly gorgeous.
That first strand of grey.

"Eyes, once full of hope and lofty dream, Now stare at passer-by,  all

rheumy eyed. Gait of the man that once was. Like a sign post, saying:

Here!, 'how I do not want to be when I am grown"

Groomed stallion with strap-in saddle.

Sure footed on paved path.

Rein in hand.

Shall I let her wander?

Why they run, I do not know.
Neither can I begin to ponder.
Race to life, love or leisure.


@incognitaio

In our quest for perfection,

We postpone.

In our attempt at excellence,

We procrastinate..

@incognitaio

For what do trees have to complain about.
The consistency in bird droppings?
The dead, the size of his headstone?
Or his unfair share of worms.


@incognitaio

One leg. Then the other

Is how a man gets out of his pant trouser.

An assembly of parts to make a whole,
Where in nought need be added, removed
Or adjusted..

Now that wall of clay and mud
has given way to bricks and blocks.
Path, paved by so many feet
now a-glow with tar and asphalt
House names matter no longer
Children now point out their father's house
in description with their left-hand finger.

Versions and versions of how I met your mother did I write.
Just because your potential mother kept changing.
Consider the last, the legitimate one.
All other editions are but drafts.

Much Love,
    Your (Future) father.

Skirts and trousers along the street.

Let there be peace in the act of love.

Those sixteen seater buses are hard enough to get comfortable in as it is without having  mother with an infant at her back on the row. Usually, you would want to lobby for the window side seat for better ventilation. She does not seem concerned though, hardly noticing the other two seat mates. The infant at her back, even less bothered. Not a sound or even a stir. Hard and unflinching as a rock, mother and child both. Oblivious to everything around them. They both could have been deaf and dumb for as much sound as they made.

The child at her back had been dead for six hours....
