E&Y E&Y and the Bay the Bay the Bay
the red red sedan
that she drove away
the french fries scattered on a plate
are images that won't walk out the door
get me more than Frost at this strange Y
get me a bench under a tree
tell me am I any richer today
or am I forever poor?
vestiges of my mind
neatly packed, to be taken away
are back in their appointed corners
never one less never one more
away didn't work yesterday,
a U-turn did
away works for her
as she goes away for sure.

Cure it dude..move on
a 'U' must work when 'Y' doesnt. Life is after all not always about the road not taken.
Very well written!
Thanks for the X&Y !! Not sure how long I will be stuck to that :-)
Anon, given your fondness for Chris Martin, am sure you will be stuck to X&Y for a long time...
i, somehow, like his wife a little more...
manish, mampi,
thanks :)
it is nice to see that you both think it is based on my life...will pass on your comments to the person concerned...
just a question: do we always just write about ourselves? is that what a blog is supposed to be? in that case i will run out of topics in a day...:)
Oh is infamous wife - that woman went on record saying Americans are intellectually inferior to brits!
Not that I disagree.. as I mentioned the other day - there is nothing like an Average American - most are below average!
Oreen - your blogs may talk about anybody or anything you feel like :)
Wow! That's amazing. I didn't know you wrote poetry too! The arrangement is very impressive. I don't quite understand the piece entirely, but the movement is terrific, and from it, the essence is clear. I wonder when you are ever going to come out with your books!
yeah, the context is a little difficult to understand...
this guy meets the girl in a building that houses Ernst&Young... the Bay is a food court with "the Bay" written all over...
the guy had made up his mind to leave his present and go with the girl...
but he takes a u-turn and comes back to his reality...
i didnt like this one at all..sorry, not ur style somehow. left me with nothing to rber :(
yeah, contrived it always was...
cut and pasted from what was meant to be an elaborate prose piece...
Estella, you always get it right :) and I always go by your judgment...
"vestiges of my mind

"the guy had made up his mind to leave his present and go with the girl" - I like that piece of explanation.
It's been that way since I can remember. He made his mind up the day Hitler shot himself. And ever since, wrote some 30 small poems, 3 short stories, 11 novels, 21 articles, 7 disertations & 16 white papers on it.
He did everything but that he made his mind up for.
