Plastic ***** sometimes

Two blackbirds on a high line
Screaming obscenities at the rising sun
I wonder what they're saying?
The nape of her neck, whole milk and henna hair
Making love in the cotton cotton cotton
Tea is best shared among lovers
Hot or cold we sip from the same cup
My love, turn on that darkness, a steady drip
Fresh melon on your lips
I want to lick them
eternally
Just kiss my back, my ear, me
It's all I ask
Let me into your watercolor soul
Paint my heart in shades of ocher, teal, and meridian
Any color will do
As long as I paint with you
You alone

Prize fighter eyes, psych units cry for equality
Bipolar pen drops, manic pinpricks, depressive, progressive
Thirty five cents on this terrapin table, today's tabernacle
Distant, loner, accepting a gentle love, lunar lunatics
Cat paw flower prints on the piano, perfume pack rat
Bed bug bite fest, black blue eyelids, coffee catastrophes
Eyes closed dreamily, internal demons be bustin' my chops
Pig trash slops, prodigal son rain drops as the beat talks
Red haired ruffians showing off fresh filed teeth
Fried eggs delicious beyond belief after starving for days
Switch the pen, shape the clay, jewels in a jar of jawbreakers
****** by all the goodness sakers, we're just givers and takers
Schizophrenic blitzkrieg, a thousand leagues under the sea
Busy bumblebee, do your little dance, show your friends the pollen trail
Sparrow, quail, pigeon **** ghetto gridlock, quarters in a sock
A bandanna and a lock, sheared sheep flocks, Rasta dread locks
Thumbin' down Memorial drive with child wide eyes
Sittin' in a grainer on the fly, on a train to do or die
Spit on the window of the violent cell, no name just VC1
Gunshot one shot ink blot blood spots corpse rots
Hard knocks, break rocks, first men to be shell shocked
Pop goes the weasel, blank canvas on the easel
Monks covered in diesel, Buddhist breathing candles
Nothing left, not even sandals, raise a toast, l'chaim
When you give up you die, face today with wide eyes
Does God cry? I do, should say I try to, skip to the loo

Lodestone, lovesouls, the boundaries of my blue blooded lover
Gentle mother with a fresh razor cut, do you know how much you hurt me?
Chocolate and candy on the table of the mental ward, mental *******
Figuring out what works, our ways, our quarks, or muons and gluons
Milk chocolate dissolving on your tongue, not bitten, forbidden, bitte fraulein
Gloria, gloria, shalom, assalamu alaikum, hands out, shake 'em
Pull the sword from the stone, water matters, patterns carved in bone
Love is lone, dove, rain from above, mud, life is not crud, maybe

Broken mood-rings on your bedside table
Cat tracks on your porcelain plates, black side up
Sunny eggs, eat 'em cold, fried green tomatoes
Sometimes waking up blows, hard, grass in the yard
Do the bugs feel it when you run the lawnmower?
Self conscious shell shock, trauma from swung padlocks
A cluster of lovelocks, held loosely
A bouquet of broke tooth smiles, grin back, be choosy
Holding each others lives loosely, why give a ****
Being picked up and slammed by the tides of tears, refugee fears
Just another proletariat in a shuffleboard life
Grief and strife, a taste of all these bitter things we seek
How much weight do you lose being a corpse for a week?
Silver, sleek, something turning in the hands of the meek
Like a knife or olive leaf, I'm not one to critique, just let me speak
Please, just for once

Natural uncut light gray diamonds
Fancy gray diamonds
Fancy on the value is the bid range
Light, fancy, intense, vivid
Clear cut the soul bound forest, dark diamonds are cheap
Congolese slaughtered by the heap, life is cheap, wound channels deep
Machetes replace laws in Sierra Leone, eating the hearts of children martyrs
Love of life bottled in 101 Wild Turkey
It hurts to hurt, see? Question intensely, broken fence misery
Calories packed densely, hand pounded corn, hate and bitter scorn
Addicted to violence like internet ****, lay love and the dove is lone
Pigeon drop poetry on your shoulder, cloaca **** sober
Yeah, come on over, let's sip a brew, ride a train, act a fool
Mountains folded up like wool, horns, grab the bull
Close my eyes and act the fool, toil till I boil, sip water out of a skull
Cannibalistic Kabbalah, hash smoking chai wallah
We're all slumdogs here, drink water, **** clear
Whether far or near don't be a stranger my dear
Live life like a deer, let our robot guardians allow us to return to the garden
Lock away the pain, let it harden, more dangerous the the 1st MarDiv
Once it begins you can't stop it, this like keeps me honest
Maybe you don't only get one kid
Pick yourself from the mud pit
Hate it or love it
We must rise
Above
It

How little
Are you
On me?

He was the main culprit in supplying RDX used in the 1993 Mumbai blasts. He was arrested in 1995 in Delhi and housed at the Sabarmati jail pending trial.
