"uber" poems
I write to express, Thoughts I can't suppress, When something makes me depress, When things happen in excess Feels good to pen down, I Guess. When I am alone, I get in my own zone, When my heart groan, When I miss her skin and bone, I write words expect them to make perfect tone. When I am in a long Uber ride, For sleeping I stride, For you when my heart cried, Writing something I tried. Rhyming I applied. This is how I write.

Why I write!?
Your colors are so heavy, how dare I, I cannot sleep. Years inundated under, through skin coils, marigold fields. Yellow crocuses, orange California poppies. Moors of cattle ranchers, yokes of oxen. Plasticine uber-confidence, silky white-skinned testubular thrice people harmonies. Blisses of contagion, contagious bliss. Wrists and incisors, tying down in a bedroom, waking up to live harps and choruses. You dance like you're so alive, but I'm so alive I can't dance. Or breathe. Or knead my fists of earthen wears, or sell my soul completely. I drove off a cliff last night, but the four foot fall ended neatly. The plateau authors my chance to sew my bright, beyond- my fortunes. But the hour before I fall asleep, seems to be the greatest torture.

good night moon
Bravery I thought I was brave with the scars to prove it. My legacy - broken bones, split knuckles, black eyes and loose teeth. Adulation and respect. I fought both man and isms Never backed down. But a black man, driving an Uber taught me the truth of true bravery. Harassed, insulted, threatened by a low-life passenger, white racism covered in a cheap suit and tie, he refused to take the bait. He denied himself the pleasure of justified violence. He told me his story - and anger for him, righteous indignation, crashed over me in furious waves. I admonished him for not confronting that mans ignorance with a closed and determined fist. Never back down, right? Gently, he spoke the truth of black men in America. His eyes caught mine in the rearview mirror. You, he said, are innocent until proven guilty. Protected by a system that oppresses me. I am guilty - period - and would be lucky to be arrested, not killed, in a confrontation with that bigot. So he did nothing, let the swine in a tie off at his destination, and drove on - leaving that pig to wallow in his hate. His bravery earned him nothing. No adulation. No respect. No recognition. Nothing except another day of life. Another day with his family. In contrast - my lifetime of bravery. A pale reflection, when set beside his truth. He was brave, not I. My self-styled bravery, forever tainted by my privilege.

This Love Song seemed like a safe place to unpack my **** But a safe place is where Lyrics go to die. And this is Not a Song. and it starts like this. all the time. II i fella sleep in a widdle boat and told a seagull that i was having a dream about talking to seagulls and he was astonished to have the pleasure of meeting a boat that had the good sense to plug the hole with a poet…. because they never wake up and they do so with extreme prejudice. that simply screams Resident. In Fact! He’d never even seen a boat. So there’s THAT. I offered Seagull “ The Cool -Side of The Pillow. “ So I could sit upright for a moment and jot this down. He was like “ What’s a pillow? “ And I had no idea what it was that brushed against my legs but It was There. then It was Gone. when i stopped using the metaphor. I was treading a fathom of pixie dust and transgender proto-gods, all cuddling in a huddle of metaphysics as adorable as a radioactive abrupt stop. III Ah yes… someone was cooking bacon… and bacon is sleep’s kryptonite. so the dream was a wrap. and i had a bird’s nest woven from the silk of my discarded cocoon. codename: Chrysalis. and my mouth was dry. a stubborn dry that follows a deluge of phantasmagoria   on a Futon that is a God to cat hair. My Futon is Oblique and Omnipotent. Apparently. Uber Mecca for Cat Hair. I fell asleep on that.

Today Its bright and sunny Not same The last 3 days . A relative , passing away Never whom I met A pall of gloom, yet . Today Husband would be back from tour A day before Stuck he was in the heavy downpour And flooded Mumbai roads . My heart sank, Reminded of the deluge Year 2005, July 26th And Stuck he was in a similar situation Residents of Mumbai, then we were. A Day before He had a long day ahead Asked the driver to leave Only to return by evening . The driver with no return route And The hotel a few Kms away Not a single Ola Uber Around the corner Added to the bother. A good 40 minutes walk In waist high water Followed by a bus ride Hotel ,he managed to reach . And hopefully , The Mumbaikars to their homes Who waded along Helping each other in the murky waters. Yes 'The SPIRIT Of MUMBAI' Not to be missed Come Rains or Terrorists Mumbaikars with help , do outreach.

i wanted to write a poem about your curls and how they made my heart beat like a drum played by a five-year old who had chocolate cake for lunch how my fingers were fighting each other and fighting the urge to tangle with yours and make their way to that chocolate colored head of yours and get tangled in it too and i wanted to write a poem of how much i wanted to be like Cinderella and leave something behind with the hopes that you’d call me back something like a notebook or my polka-dotted waterbottle but i guess the only thing i left was a tiny little part of my heart on the backseat of your car

love poem for an uber driver
Better natured today than yesterday, smelling less like cigarettes and more like laundry detergent, you sit across from your therapist at the bar and ask for one more boilermaker. You say, How do you desire what you already possess? And your therapist says, Don't go down that drunk. That's a bad drunk. You're in a floral print A-line dress, one you bought from your sister-in-law. She's doing one of those multilevel marketing things and though her Facebook posts make you want to suicide yourself, she's happy and independent and at home with her kids. Despite these lukewarm feelings, you harbor some resentment as you finger and thumb a seam that's already coming undone. Sloane. Your husband keeps mentioning a woman at the office named Sloane. You're at the bar, almost alone, and promised yourself you wouldn't think about Sloane. But here you are. Sloane in a pencil skirt and stockings. Sloane with a fresh ****** energy, the kind you can't seem to summon, and you wonder why *** is such an important thing. It's so brief, forgettable, full of abject compromise. *** is an inherently violent act, don't you think? You say to the therapist.   If your therapist hears you, he doesn't respond. You don't repeat the question. You watch yourself broadcast on the TV above the bar. They're commenting on your hair and your arms and going on and on about your likability. Your therapist changes the mood. It's 6:30. He gives the place a nighttime feel. He kills a row of lights and turns on the colored bulbs, the blues and greens. The TV is turned down. The music is turned up. This is what you've been waiting for, the lights, the music. There's an hour before anyone really shows up. You can close your eyes and drift. Two or three drinks pass. A couple walks in. You have your therapist put in for an Uber. Maybe I've been asking the question the wrong way, you say. Oh yeah? the therapist says. Yeah. Maybe the question should be reversed. Maybe the question should be how do you remain desirable to the objects you possess? That seems like a lot of work. Seems like you'd have no sense of self. You'd always be bending. I've been a plus one for a long time. You say bending. But I wouldn't be doing anything new. I already do all these things. But I see them as a compromise. I'm just trying to reframe, you know? Why? your therapist asks. You open your mouth and find no words. You smile. You say you've had too much. You're rambling. You're sorry. You better go.

Joe without his legs Wheelchair, bedside G.I. At a meeting Ruminating and feeling It’s like A.A. Rehabilitation games The system plays War Craft with missing halves PTSD R e s p e c t That ain’t the half Of the stink and the taint Sniffing glue Replacing chipped paint Joe only worries If there’s somewheres To be After rehab Need a Lyft Uber quick Downtown a ton to do Joe worries arriving in 12 steps Sponsor anonymously Befriend responsibly Joe worries Like long time buds His legs That they won’t work Like they did back when He got laid And was paid By way of Vietnam And ****** Uncle Sam. Joe worries Of wheelchair accesses His favorite places without Doors he’d like to Fit in And go on Normally Accepted To be loved like a brother That no one knew And no one seems or cares to Joe feels like A third wheel A phantom limb Who’s bucket list is to “Invest in the Google” “Learn how to use The cloud”

i hope, i try to hope --to believe-- believe me, i try to trust in trust i think i feel, or think or know there isn't any code that satisfies though maybe there's an uber-uber-ultra-meta code beyond what even codes can mean? meh. i enjoy the hypothetical, Paris in a bottle, fairness for all sentient beings, faith in nothing comprehensible, an English teapot circles Jove from afar or all that's uncontrollable, for some all-purpose good to decorate the brackish, ocean truth. and uncertain science is another case, mistrusting all, testing daring thoughts with razor sight, to sharpen speech and challenge all to flex the truth into a fitness ground on which to stand, objective stern and method doubt to peer and scan the detail bare, denude minutiae into ever smaller parts, expanse of raw and empty space attuned, to vibrant nothingness rebound muons, gluons, tauons, quarks and bosons --Higgs the boon for popular appeal, to bridge or monumentalize the science-mystic gap appall the ghosts that Galileo keeps for company i enjoy the fantasy, dragons in a flask, perfect love for all, dancing in the dark in joy regardless of the shutter thicken dust

trust?
There was a homeless lady, one afternoon, outside the hospital. Was she homeless? I don’t know. She had a ladened shopping cart, which, on TV, is kind of a signature. We were inside, waiting for an Uber. She was outside, in chiaroscuro relief. Dressed in bright, multilayered, mismatched florals and brocades, she reminded me of a gypsy. There are still gypsy caravans in France. Are there gypsies in America? She wore boots and long strings of beaded jewelry. They would have had to have been glass, I supposed, but tinseled with the glitter of those pop spangles, she looked, en bloc, the richest and the poorest of us. She wasn’t young and she wasn’t old. She sat alone, on a short retaining wall, her cart within guarded reach. I noticed her because every time I glanced over, she was watching me with the dark unblinking eyes of a bird. She had an easy confidence, in the wild, sitting safe and protected by her clam, obstinate shell of boredom. What must I look like to her - with her tangled hair and unwashed face? Me in my permanent pressed hospital wear, diminished by over-washing. A doll behind glass, whose whole life is patterned by plans? Our Uber pulled up, the number matched and as Lisa opened the car door, I gathered my things and looked back but the gypsy lady was gone, leaving a blank space.

i'm walking down the street bare feet, without a care **** uber, metro, I hate public transportation, i'm dirtying up this sidewalk, for a few years already i'm writing down a will, in my mind, close to my eyelids, because i'm on the wrong side of my mind i feel sick, tasting the bitterness of humanity when I wipe mankind on the side of the pavement, at the very deep, there's masculinity mixed with ***** i'm walking down a bridge full of empty shells i pass hordes of girls who are smiling insincerely and again, i feel a boost in my veins and again, i'm louder than mirrors and as in the mirrors, voidness space, and it is me, who takes the best from it i absorb this poisoned air. In the ears of mine, i can hear electro heat, i feel like one man one Jean-Michel Jarre, rain is pouring through me, sticks to me like fog, i wrap myself in the warmth of two MDMA's, someone glances surreptitiously and steals my soul, you have a backpack full of cash, i have a suitcase full of emotions, i'm going on a journey through the cursed city like a hermaphrodite with a broken rod, streets, like stigmas, cry with hollow screams, in front of clubs content abortions on the sidewalk, let's leave this lie, like the walking dead assertiveness and pride to the gutter washed away. And again, this booster is kindling my veins i'm dirtier than a new jerusalem and similar to it, i'm sticking to everything and so I'm taking the most out of my heart and I absorb this poisoned air once again. and so the booster flows through the aorta it is flooding my tarred heart, destination reached. and my wallet is shimmering with bitter crystal nothing will change the course of this chemistry, betrayed. betrayed by their own bodies vidi, no vici, veni on its own, and i'm catching a laugh, standing still in the subway i am still absorbing poisoned air. hatred. jealousy. i've seen enough. today, in my city, sun rises in the morning. you will remember this day forever or forget it for eternity.

currently wishing my uber driver would shut the **** up for half a minute I just want to listen to Joy Division in silence; with nothing but the pressure of my inescapable apathy please shut up; I really don't care that two children were hit by a tractor trailer this morning, only a bit jealous. I never thought I'd meet someone as lonely as me, but the continual conversation that you regurgitate proves otherwise. I wish I could be taken out by a tractor trailer - at this point, I'll settle for anything. uh-huh yeah really no way I feel as though this trip is a metaphor for my waking life: just a blur of scenery flying by, while a stranger makes noises at my depression - and I just, uh-huh yeah really no way I hate how I hate everything hate how lonely I am how regardless of who surrounds me,         comforts me,                 loves me, I still feel like I'm alone welcome to the void

TALES FROM THE EMPTY SHELL
Called a cab It had to be Yellow Checkered at least A rumble seat Old school, an Uber it just wouldn't do. The cabbie asked me What's your destination? Take me to the end of time, I don't think it's on your GPS Do you know the ride? He hit the meter never replied Looking out the window Saw it all fly by When we arrived I was surprised No charge, he said for this ride.

We order a mushroom-cheese omelet Now see you’re the kind of guy who eats jam on toast And I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t eat toast as all So when the plate comes, I give you both pieces of toast And you spread the strawberry jam on it While I’m busy cutting the omelet in half But before taking a bite of anything We both pick up a hashbrown simultaneously As if somehow we’d planned the entire thing And we both take a bite of it and We love it It’s cooked to perfection and potatoes are my weakness Back to the omlet though, So I’m not that great at cutting And the omelet cut unevenly in half So you take the smaller piece Even though you’re bigger than me And I steal the bigger piece Even though I’m smaller than you And you eat your half in three bites While I’m struggling with mine And the string cheese is caught somewhere between My fingers, my mouth and the plate And it takes me a while to eat About twenty bites in, there’s no way I can eat more So I ask you to eat what’s leftover I guess I should have given you the bigger half to begin with But I guess that’s just how we work Where you’ll always take the smaller portion But end up eating most of the food Because I’ll always take the bigger portion And leave most of it untouched You eat my leftovers in two bites And the coffee arrives I almost knock over your espresso While reaching for the complimentary cookie I eat my cookie And then I eat half of yours too And by this time I’m pretty full But I see a sign for a free cookie And I want it You don’t really care for it but you laugh Because you haven’t seen me want anything as bad As the cookie (it's free!) And so you get me the free cookie And I’m too full to eat it So I put it in my bag Very proudly; it’s my success for the day I finish my Americano faster than you finish your single shot espresso So you give me a sip of yours But you drop a few drops on me And now my pants look like they have blood stains And I smell of espresso And you’re trying to clean it with a tissue But the waiter thinks we’re doing something naughty So I tell you to stop And even if we were doing something naughty Who’s the waiter to say anything anyways Anyways So we finish out coffee and we call for an uber And my pants are stained And I’m carrying my cookie And I don’t think I’ve ever been happier While we wait for the uber You steal my glasses And you try them on They look funny on you I like them on you I think I like you And you can’t see anything And I can’t see anything either Except for your outline That’s enough for me So the uber comes And he calls us And we’re leaving At the counter you pay And I see a Nutella cookie in the window I want it But you just paid for breakfast So I’ll keep quiet We sit in the car And I put on pomegranate lipbalm And I give you some too Your lips look nice and soft now And I think today has been a really great day And I think you fit me well Because you love toast and I leave toast And it works out (except for that baked tomato no one ate) But look the point is Is that we work Well. And we squish in the back of an uber And guess what? The seat was made for two. We ordered a mushroom-cheese omelet It was a good day

And so you get me the free cookie And I’m too full to eat it So I put it in my bag Very proudly; it’s my success for the day I finish my Americano faster than you finish your single shot espresso So you give me a sip of yours But you drop a few drops on me And now my pants look like they have blood stains And I smell of espresso And you’re trying to clean it with a tissue But the waiter thinks we’re doing something naughty So I tell you to stop And even if we were doing something naughty Who’s the waiter to say anything anyways Anyways So we finish out coffee and we call for an uber And my pants are stained And I’m carrying my cookie And I don’t think I’ve ever been happier While we wait for the uber You steal my glasses And you try them on They look funny on you I like them on you I think I like you And you can’t see anything And I can’t see anything either Except for your outline That’s enough for me So the uber comes And he calls us And we’re leaving At the counter you pay And I see a Nutella cookie in the window I want it But you just paid for breakfast So I’ll keep quiet We sit in the car And I put on pomegranate lipbalm And I give you some too Your lips look nice and soft now And I think today has been a really great day And I think you fit me well Because you love toast and I leave toast And it works out (except for that baked tomato no one ate) But look the point is Is that we work Well. And we squish in the back of an uber And guess what? The seat was made for two. We ordered a mushroom-cheese omelet It was a good day

Pathetic. That’s what I’d call you. Just plain miserable and manipulative. You tricked me into giving you the world . Deceived me into believing that you’d never do me ***** You blinded me by your lies “Forget about them , you have me.” But , I didn’t really have you .. Did I ? You took what you wanted . You let me put you before myself . But ? I don’t even blame you . Maybe if I would’ve been in your position , Being offered the world And only being asked for friendship in return .. Maybe then I would’ve robbed you of your trust . And your love . You were my best friend . My ace , My platonic soulmate . And I treated you as much . But, what was I ? To you , What was I ? A personal tutor ? Remember those last two essays that you just couldn’t get done ? Who helped you ? Who stayed up after an exhausting day at work , After having to bike home in the cold and rain ? Just so you could pass and not worry. Maybe , I was just a free ride . Always taking you places , Always giving you the keys and letting you do whatever. You filled the tank maybe twice within a nine month period . And I never once said anything . Oh I got it , I was your ATM. Whenever you needed money , I was glad to help . Whether it was for an Uber so you could go to your volleyball tournament Since your own “mother” couldn’t take you Or whether it was for a Plan B because YIKES Your boyfriend didn’t know how to pull out . Hm , I guess I was also a personal shopper . Buying you clothes when I bought me some . You didn’t wanna spend your money ? That was fine . I would spend mine And you didn’t even have to ask. I was everything except your friend and that’s all I wanted to be . I should’ve seen this coming . I should have KNOWN . Looking back All I can see are the signs , Foreshadowing what was to come . You started to change right in front of my own eyes but I didn’t want to believe it . Didn’t want to believe what I could clearly see . You started to ignore me . For days on end . Living in the same house became something like a Silent war . Everyone against me . Including you . You started to disappear into your room . There were no more lifetime movie marathons together . No more staying up and goofing around together . No more talking about any and everything together . I lost you way before I knew I lost you and that makes my heart ache like a pre-existing bruise getting hit over and over again .

If I could talk to you , this is what I’d say.

Lied von liebe
Midnight eyes, a sad seduction to parlor jazz, ads burn through windows rolled up tight on Lincoln Drive, the skyline drips and sighs with pleasure. You and I could sleep all night on our Uber ride to the towers (we never mind the drunken fight, we never mind the complications). Lightning loves the tallest trees, and you and I? A redwood forest. But what is love without the static? (A dead-eyed kiss, a glance at strangers). Pale, the art that imitates us. Lungs collapse with rampant laughter. (We pay no heed to warning signs, we pay no mind to hidden danger).

If God made us the way we are, then what's to stop us from being gay? Did you know that gay used to mean happy In ancient times Ancient, as in just a few years ago, when people were more civilized then us now When they were afraid to speak up in fear of retaliation It is no wonder that now, those who are out of the closet, are drunk on grandiose When the uber religious try to shove their beliefs down your windpipe Until it is so deeply embedded that no amount of surgery could take it out If God hates us, then why would he have made us so perfect? Who's to say it's even a he; when he could be a she If the queen of all species hates us, then why did she create rainbows? Those same rainbows you let your children enjoy, the same rainbow colored toys that you insist are teaching your snot monster to be "gay" Instead of worrying over how to survive that day, take the time to sit at home and relax Drink away your stress with coffee or alcohol that burns not only your tongue but your body and runs an electrifying course like a river after a storm until it reaches your toes and back up to create chemical reactions in your brain; savor the bitter taste it leaves in your mouth and compare it to your past Watch tv that is so lame you cannot help but laugh at the terrible irony and puns Cry over somebody who does not love you and then go out and find someone who does The point is, you are gay and they are not
