The Quintessential Critic!
The blog-header is a rather apt description of myself. I have an opinion on anything that matters and doesn't! And, here I'm trying to just do that - make my opinions known.

B'day
Expectation turns to trepidation
The prospect of presents Doesn't excite either
The eyes squint to see more lines Only to cause further furrows.
"Party!" I hear the screams
"NO!" I scream within
Petrified by not the hangover
But the clock thats ticking by
Announcing my entry into the
New Decade

Poet
There is a bard
Within me
I’m sure!
Struggling against
The bondage
Bound by the skeleton
Of the mind
Yearning to break free
Fighting against
The stupor
Induced by Prozac
Mortified by The fear
Of turning prosaic
The bard hears
His own songs
Reverberating through
The dark innards
In search of light
And release
I hear them too
In my sleep and dreams
There’s no trace
When I wake up

Identity
If the company I keep
Could exercise its influence
I’d be a poet
A genius
A gambler
A substance addict
A father
A raving rant
A flaming bitch
A television serial
In short, anything
Anything I could turn into
Anything but me
(Afterthought)
I don't choose
I don't blend
I become a critic
