"seating" poems
I could’ve woken you up in the morning and could’ve been the sun that rises even when we both live in a place where it never does. I could’ve taken you to museums, at least 2 of where I’ve been to. The first one, we’ll have to take the bus because I’d tell you that I’m too lazy to drive but for the second one, I will tell you that I’ll drive you there. My car would look at me as though it knows that there is another soul seating in the passenger seat – it was no longer some books, a box of pizza, or my dog. I could’ve taken photos of you in that place, post them everywhere but subtly so that they can see that there are at least 2 forms of art in that photo — the one you’re looking at and the one I’m looking at. I could’ve talked to you at night under the stars, in the same rooftop where I told you that I liked the cathartic experience of doing just what we could’ve done; the same rooftop where you talked about your life, at least some pieces of it. I could’ve brought you to where I used to study. We could’ve walked the halls that stared at me for being too alone and too lonely only so I could tell them, “Hey, here he is, finally.” and they could’ve smiled at me because they know how long the longing lasted. We could’ve taken a stroll in the shade of the trees or could’ve had a picnic there while watching the joggers and the sunset. I could’ve introduced you to my friends – they’ve been meaning to meet you. They too know how long I’ve been stuck on an island by myself. They know who I was when I was eleven and when I was sixteen and I bet, if you gave them a chance, you could’ve heard the crazy things we did. And maybe they could’ve liked you. They could’ve told me how lucky I was and probably would’ve warned me that if I hurt you, they’d stick with you instead of me. I could’ve introduced you to my family — my mom liked you even then. I could’ve introduced you to my little brother who I would consider as the biggest and most important judge of character because I believe that children can sense goodness in people and he could’ve seen that in you. I could’ve written you letters, could’ve left random little tokens I would've used for all the words I cannot muster to say. I could’ve played the piano for you even if I just know, at most, 3 songs; even though I don’t really know how to read notes at all. I could’ve introduced you to the artists I like and I could’ve known more of yours. I could’ve listened to them and I would have had to remember you every time. I could’ve held your hand, could’ve eaten brunch with you, could’ve read you a poem. I could’ve loved you — could have – if I was the given the chance. But, I was and I could’ve used it but I didn’t.

Because Today is the Last Day
I could’ve woken you up in the morning and could’ve been the sun that rises even when we both live in a place where it never does. I could’ve taken you to museums, at least 2 of where I’ve been to. The first one, we’ll have to take the bus because I’d tell you that I’m too lazy to drive but for the second one, I will tell you that I’ll drive you there.

Right now:
In my homeroom class, we don't have a seating chart. But I still sit as far away from the door as I can. Subconsciously it's probably because of a school shooting. I've been anticipating one to strike at my small high school for a couple years now. It's probably because of a lock down we had a couple years ago when I was still in middle school. There were armed men on campus. We had to be silent for hours. I was in choir at the time. Over 100 of us were squeezed into a small space. There were girls crying, my best friend was holding my hand, I was having an anxiety attack. I was only thinking "Please not today..." I'm not surprised anymore. When another school is in the news, it's deeply upsetting but not surprising. It's all I've ever known. The Columbine High School shooting happened in 2001. I was born a year later. I've never actually known peace in this country...

far from the door
Seating comfortably in this machine Watching them sell things by the road That's the hustle Heading to the capital That's where life thrives after Uni. To start my hustle The constant of all this is fear I'm scared Not of demons and witches But the real hustle School built a comfort zone A chance for allowance from old ones Now it's time to move out And hustle. My default life ends Now I can be who I want to be No scolds from parents But from hustle

"ONE IN THREE WOMEN ARE VICTIMS OF ****** ASSAULT." They say. I am sat. Awestruck. "LOOK TO YOUR LEFT AND LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT. ONE OF YOU IS A VICTIM OF ****** ASSAULT." I look to the woman on my left. I look to the woman on my right. I look to the front. Avoid any eye contact. Keep a straight face. Don't give anything away. How dare they out me like this? The woman to my left knows that she hasn't. The woman to my right knows that she hasn't. That leaves me. Raw and exposed. I did not give consent for this to be shared. This was my secret. My ***** little secret that I do not want to have but I do despite. Did they plan this? They must have known. There must be a seating plan somewhere. Someone did some digging around. But how? I told no one. This was my secret. My ***** little secret that I do not want to have but do despite. Anger creeps up inside. Avoid any eye contact. Keep a straight face. Don't give anything away. Pain. I dig my nails into the palm of my hand and I squeeze. Blood is drawn. I look down at my hand. The woman on my left does the same. Cover it quick. I look forward. They are still talking. I process nothing. Avoid any eye contact. Keep a straight face. Don't give anything away. They are still talking. Focus. Concentrate. What are they saying? Finally I tune back in to their closing line, Reiterating their first point: "ONE IN THREE WOMEN ARE VICTIMS OF ****** ASSAULT."

The Revolution Will Not Be a One-Time-Only YouTube Sensation
Night is for the hours Cowards, Let a man of God speak or night Will continue to burn flowers It's been said napkins are the greatest currency For it holds the food spittle of man Like how ambulances sit waiting To clean up after misfortunes And make fortunes for the fortun- Who Ate paragraphs of spider webs And patted weaves like black men seating at the back of the limited luxurious Q46 bus nodding heads to the noise of Toyota cameras they couldn't afford in the land where they spend $300 million to part the seas for summer entertainment While they only spent $40 on California cuteness and walked on water with 13 Jesus' and ate at the bottom of the sea with only three tokes from the plastic bag Let a man of God speak or night Will continue to burn flowers For we graduated from 30 hot nights of mathematics Only to find that the future will always be white and in the *******

Breakfast for a 31st century genius
Laughter jaded by the debris of frowns Glee of seeing my cousins, spun into a web of pain! This reunion is a funeral for the lost Basically the dead, because she won’t return again! Every person looks into my eyes and I can tell That everyone else is also in Hell Just wondering what had to of happened For there daughter, niece, grandchild to have such a blackened heart. But please i’m trying to move on Already starting in the direction of healing and that makes me insane!? Is the core confusion in conversation around the dinner table, seating forty five “Please everyone we will all survive” I say it loud but barely believe it myself This was supposed to be a party, but turned into a part of me leaving. Feeling like I’ve only been disappointing That I messed up something I’m reassured that the tears are not my doing

Funeral Reunion
Amadou awakened with a start, it was Omar one of the guardians(security guards) of Yaldagou (the largest Hospital in the capital of Burkina Faso) knocking on the window of his taxi, Amadou had just settled down for the night after a long day in the heat and fumes that was Ouagadougou it was just after midnight on Sunday, he struggled to wake up rubbing the sleep from his eyes as Omar explained in Mori(local language), that there were two white people in need of his special service. After a quick explanation that someone had died in a private clinic nearby and the body needed to be transported to the morgue at Yaldagou,  he snapped out of his sleepiness and thought for a moment how much he could charge the rich white people, it was two days after Eid and as a strict Muslim he had been celebrating the holidays and now he had been offered an opportunity to supplement his taxi income, someone had to do it and it was an unsavory job and anyway on the few occasions he had done it, it had been lucrative, it might as well be him! Amadou thought to himself, if you had the misfortune to die in the day time there was a private service but in the night dignity went out the window and it was up to people like Amadou and a select bunch of taxi drivers with seats that could be configured to accommodate the corpses of the recently deceased to perform this service, so taxi 87 driven by Amadou would take this lady who had died from kidney and other ***** failures, after struggling for some days she eventually lost her battle and slipped into unconsciousness and finally died. Amadou finally settled on 10000 CFA(local currency) a fair price, after all the so-called professionals would charge 30000 CFA three times more and it was around Eid "Allah Akbar".   A quick "Thank you" to Omar for helping them and the two white people left with him for the short journey to the clinic, after the usual discussions the body was released and  transported to the morgue to join the other recently deceased waiting for burial in the morning, Amadou, rearranged the seating in his taxi after parking up in his favourite place under the trees of Yaldago it was just after one thirty, a good ninety mins work he thought to himself, yawned, and settled down to sleep a few more hours before dawn prayers. This was Africa and "someone had to do it" was his last thought.

An unsavoury job - "someone had to do it"
Amadou awakened with a start, it was Omar one of the guardians(security guards) of Yaldagou (the largest Hospital in the capital of Burkina Faso) knocking on the window of his taxi, Amadou had just settled down for the night after a long day in the heat and fumes that was Ouagadougou it was just after midnight on Sunday, he struggled to wake up rubbing the sleep from his eyes as Omar explained in Mori(local language), that there were two white people in need of his special service.

in finite allegories
Seagull on rotting planks, bouy bells ding to fog and driftwood. A culling fire exploits the docking shire. Filled with chlorine shards, legs caught in the clap-traps. Friar palms glisten, Rage responds with frisson. Clear view over water. Feel your arms relax and slip onto your back while the culling fire attacks. Bulbous deadening brain chimes As the eyes slide down to your omission crimes. Leave me alone in my despondent company. Don't push the matter further let communication fail to nurture. A warm breeze carries me like a floating portrait towards unreal scented meats. I'm here now, alone in the corner, The greatest intimacy with the static patterns on the carpeted flooring. The king of this corner is the odor of plank seating and flowery detergent in this lonely corridor fluorescent light-bulb poles and old grain floorboards. Now the returning shards of panic to uncelibate strangers drive me up, far, deep in my own ribcage to something wholly non-organic. Time to clock-in, time to check out.

The Church of Privacy
She may be our metronome mother But when was rhythm first discovered? Did ancient nomads hear it in the sounds of walking? Did they like how it sounded over them talking? Did they view the melody As a felony? And start to sway their hips To the crack of whips? Maybe that wasn't good enough Maybe we needed more stuff So we started crossing swords To create more violent chords That interested us more Violence has a catchy hook That can't be found in a book But started with a ***** look Until our brain begins to cook And we learn to love the beat As the harmony depletes We take concert seats At a darkness feast There's an iambic pentameter In the middle eastern theater That sounds all too familiar The troubling treble Of mothers screaming While superpowers meddle And innocence is leaving The reaper is reaping To a situation heating Empathy fleeting Fascist seating Rhythm beating Our soundproof homes Create acoustic cones That our cries can't escape Taking the container's shape Filling our mind Until we're blind And only see political teams Instead of childhood dreams We fall into a rhythm Based on deadly decisions With lethal precision Like surgical incisions That don't make us healthy But support the wealthy Who whistle a different tune That will **** us all soon And as the world crumbles Their bellies still rumble Creating a disruptive bass Their music we must face With an impossible grace Or else we'll be replaced I hear instruments of percussion Causing concussions Deflecting discussions Making us harmfully dance So we'll have a fair chance Which seems wrong at first glance But it's actually a pragmatic trance Provided by Mister Rhythm Who carries misery with him

I finish scooping a large serving of stir fry onto a styrofoam plate with the two metal spatulas left on the counter for me. I sidestep the forty something year old man who is our host who has opened this house, his families house, to us his extended family. I jump over the dog and take a seat in a metal folding chair that has been set by the table which is meant to seat 4, but is seating 9 tonight. To my right is an old friend, the estranged stepsister of the sleeping hostess to my left; the father of another friend who is, himself the best friend of the host and a regular in this kitchen. His son sits on the other side of the girl to my right his girlfriend is across from him and to his right is the three year old niece of the hostess. Her Five year old sister sits across from her. at the end is the 14 year old daughter of the hostess and across from me is her sister, the reason I am here. We eye each other across the table, trying to say something to each other trying to reveal the sound our heartbeats make, but our words are frozen in our throats. They would be pierced though by flying words and noodles and laughs and forks. they would be pierced through by the energy here by the connectedness by everything. If we were to say anything it would be rendered so completely useless so quickly that we can't. Or so we tell ourselves as we sit at this table with our large, crazy, extended, adopted family knocking elbows as we try to eat passing around the Parmesan cheese listening to the dogs barking at us for accidentally kicking them as they tried to forage for food scraps under our chairs not telling us they were there. There is a happiness here a buzzing an energy this is a family this is a family and I belong

Encased, as an oil painting, behind a plane of glass. Years of exposure dulling the canvas, no funding to restore the brightness of the subject's lifeless eyes. They lay dormant, cloudy, From a lifetime of accumulative debris. Transferred between people, buildings, countries; Memories on display for brief intervals, Then packaged and returned to storage, As if they were never your own. People shift, distorted, beyond the coffin of glass. Their movements hazy, The shutter speed slow. Colours muted, Sounds muffled, Melting into each other. An abstract watercolour, waxing and waning. Low resolution projections on a dimly lit screen - A theatre seating but one.

"Formula-1 on Quantum Track ...."
Adrift on her very first voyage With the sea coursing in through her bow Lay the cruise ship, the S.S. Lumbago There was scarcely a chance for her now But Ahoy! On the western horizon In a flurry of yellow and green That ender of blight and a damsel’s delight And he’s always on cue for his scene It’s Sir Patrick Stewart! And his Luxury Budgerigar! It’s got seating for seventy people And the service is well above par There’s an adequate medical unit And a modest but elegant bar What more could a man ever dream of In a Luxury Budgerigar? Well… The forests of England were burning So the foxes escaped to the city The badgers had taken to looting And the squirrels had formed a committee But who should arise from a manhole With a confident gleam in his eye? That destroyer of woes with a spring in his toes And he’s quick with a witty reply… Sir Patrick Stewart! And his Luxury Budgerigar! With adjustable hose pipe attachment It’s got wheels like a feathery car The forests were dowsed and the fauna re-housed With a three day retreat at a spa It’s a thing to admire and surely acquire The Luxury Budgerigar! But… Susan was stricken with sorrow Twas her darkest, most fearful hour A spider had wrestled her out of her bath And set up his home in the shower But who should jump out of the wardrobe With an innocent look on his face? That singer of shanties, remover of ******* And first in an obstacle race Sir Patrick Stewart! And his Luxury Budgerigar With a sucker for spiders and beetles That deposits them into a jar There’s a tiny wee restaurant to feed them It was given a Michelin star A remarkable thing with retractable wings Is a Luxury Budgerigar So if you should be in a pet shop And you see just the critter for you Please heed this advice: make a note of the price Then proceed to the back of the queue When you ask for your preference of creature Should it whistle, slither or waddle Do as Sir Patrick Stewart did And opt for the Luxury model

It’s got seating for seventy people And the service is well above par There’s an adequate medical unit And a modest but elegant bar What more could a man ever dream of In a Luxury Budgerigar? Well… The forests of England were burning So the foxes escaped to the city The badgers had taken to looting And the squirrels had formed a committee But who should arise from a manhole With a confident gleam in his eye? That destroyer of woes with a spring in his toes And he’s quick with a witty reply… Sir Patrick Stewart! And his Luxury Budgerigar! With adjustable hose pipe attachment It’s got wheels like a feathery car The forests were dowsed and the fauna re-housed With a three day retreat at a spa It’s a thing to admire and surely acquire The Luxury Budgerigar! But… Susan was stricken with sorrow Twas her darkest, most fearful hour A spider had wrestled her out of her bath And set up his home in the shower But who should jump out of the wardrobe With an innocent look on his face? That singer of shanties, remover of ******* And first in an obstacle race Sir Patrick Stewart! And his Luxury Budgerigar With a sucker for spiders and beetles That deposits them into a jar There’s a tiny wee restaurant to feed them It was given a Michelin star A remarkable thing with retractable wings Is a Luxury Budgerigar So if you should be in a pet shop And you see just the critter for you Please heed this advice: make a note of the price Then proceed to the back of the queue When you ask for your preference of creature Should it whistle, slither or waddle Do as Sir Patrick Stewart did And opt for the Luxury model

Like dewdrop seating precariously on the petal of a rose. Emotions rise and love grows The path with branches overgrown Love still remains an uncertain adventure. Love is as beautiful As it is hurtful Like a cake, bitter, sweet and sour Its taste, the tongue still trying to figure out. Hurt as it may In love I chose to stay What wanton insanity

Joy or Hurt, What is Love?
"Ähoy" a sudden call, that speaks so much ; looking up I see, a face familiar for ages,up above the dark, sturdy Palmyra tree, thirty feet high, amidst  the lush canopy of thick green leaves, his toddy tapper's gear, unchanged for generations, around his waist, just a breast plate to protect from the rough trunk, while crawling up, a broad smile, time couldn't wither, on that countenance. An ancient avatar, he jumps out  from a favorite story book, of  childhood, he animated a lot of memories of those times, walking through the narrow path among trees,a loud "Ähoy" would  unexpectedly greet dad and I,  from where the wind reigns, unaware there is world above, ready to reach us, any time, cut in to our animated talk on atlas moths with broad wings, or amazing things, Malabar squirrels that fly from tree to tree. "Ähoy! Raman!how'z toddy flow today? All fine?" his voice booming  from below, dad would cheer our friend; more like talking to the wind and trees, pleasantly surreal. "Ähoy"makes all fall in place, Raman hasn't changed a bit, time flows only down here, up there  it seems standing still, my little village too has a trap, I suspect, time has no way to escape, if it makes the river languid, no, Raman seems not to mind! "Master" the old familiar endearment, "Ẅhat's the matter? from here, above the clouds, I can see those brooding eyes, The city, shall I say took all those smiles, you would gift as a village boy , going to school with your chums, this way" I know what comes next, fresh toddy served with love as an antidote, right here under the tree, a brew that  brims with memories of many guilty pleasures of adolescence,can I ever reject? No worry lines on that gentle face, Raman is ageless, cool, we sit on a pre historic rock, that extends  seating arrangement, in to container, he made with braided Palmyra leaf, Raman pours limitless love that for others would look like toddy, to me this milky liquid, is a magic potion tapped from memories, of a past that I thought has winged  away from me but still here. I gulp it  and get transported to a time, I don't want to forget, Now the wind, I can hear hums an old haunting tune,familiar In mild intoxication, we chorus the wind's song on Palmyra leaves.

Sweet toddy, seeping from old memories..

The air in this room is heavier at night, it inflates my lungs like water balloons. I think about what loneliness is, learning that I'm the only breathing body here. A twin sized bed is plenty of room for me; I can't sleep in a crowded blanket pushing two sets of shoulders together, like a suitcase slipping overstuffed clothes through gaping zipper teeth. I only have one chair in here, barley enough comfort for one. But this room needs another life, two more lungs to share the air. There won't be enough seating, or a place for your clothes. But I won't mind stretching this blanket to cover four shoulders.

Water Balloons
It began as a mistake, a sweet lie, a sin i couldn't scape. It began as a mistake, as it took control of me, like a demon feeding the weak. It began as a mistake, but it was the most beautiful one, that i ever taken. Im seating here, alone in my throne, waiting to you, to come home.

Mistake
Dear Papa, Yesterday I saw something that I didn’t understand. They were walking a little ahead of me. But walking isn't the right word, because there were two people and only two feet. It sounds like a math problem, But nothing added up in my head. It sounds like Vikram Vetal, papa, But unlike the story you told me the other day, there was no strong king or sly demon. I saw, however, one ***** underfed boy of eight dragging his crippled mother across the street. Adhunik Shravan bal. A Lilliputian on a Herculean task. I couldn't decipher her age. When you're that poor, does age matter? Do they keep count of the days that pass by when their aim is to survive just one? Do they have a mirror to look into and count the wrinkles on their face? What does age matter to an eight year old boy who, instead of attending school, is hauling his handicapped mother across the road on a seating board with wheels? When I was that age, papa, you bought me a skateboard that was the exact leaf green from my 50 colours oil pastels set. I couldn't see the colour of their clothes. There was the dark of the night, yellow of the street lights and everything was in sepia like the picture you showed me of your childhood. You once told me you were raised in poverty too, papa. Are there different kinds of poverty? Did you get toys to play with or were your clothes in sepia too? I told you this sounds like a math problem, papa, And here’s what doesn't add up. Isn't a parent supposed to hold their child's hand and show them how to cross the road? I remember holding your hand, looking left-right-left and matching my steps with your strides. Fast, but never run. Who taught him, papa? Did he have his own papa to teach him? How did he learn to walk fast enough and pull hard enough so that he and his mom made it across the road in time? How did he find the strength if he was underfed? He truly reminds me of Shravan bal, because who else would carry his mother across such distances. I told you it sounds like Vikram Vetal, papa, and now that I think about it, it really does. Maybe this little boy is a young king. Maybe he brings his vetal back home every day. Maybe he hears her talk about her day. And maybe, papa, when he succeeds every night, she saves him from an evil tantric. An evil tantric called hunger.

stood on the bow of my boat, drifting, sifting thru my thoughts, as if the heaviest n most precious ones would show and the smile would be non stop. Maybe i thought their worth was increasing, later to find out what i wanted was not just as pleasing, but everyting around me was the reason I'm breathing, the birds an the bees and the sun that is seating, the dirt and the trees and the animals that are feeding. born with a blood that is gold when I'm bleeding, life's priceless till we're lifeless, until then I'm just being.

breathtaking gold
Waiting for the train come It was peak time The train station was packed like sardine packed Full of workers hoping to go back home to their families All the sweats they have given out on that day Was it all worth it? Standing besides the railway Fantasizing, imagining If i jump will anyone help me? Will anyone pull me out of the railway? Small lights catched my eye 1km away Oh there's the train coming! Everyone was colliding and pushing each other to get into the train Because you don't want to miss the train It was near dawn, everyone wants to go back before dawn approaches They would do anything to get in I was bumped into a guy, he was sweet And then things get so awkward in the train I was seating infront of the guy It was one of the moments I would like to escape from But not long after that, we hopped off at our station Heading back home And until now, I could never forget his face :)
