Things That Bang

How neatly a cat sleeps,
sleeps with its paws and its posture,
sleeps with its wicked claws,
and with its unfeeling blood,
sleeps with all the rings--
a series of burnt circles--
which have formed the odd geology
of its sand-colored tail.
I should like to sleep like a cat,
with all the fur of time,
with a tongue rough as flint
, with the dry sex of fire;
and after speaking to no one,
stretch myself over the world,
over roofs and landscapes,
with a passionate desire
to hunt the rats in my dreams. (Pablo Neruda, "Cat's Dream")

The Desi season to be jolly is round the corner. People are having fun- getting drunk, driving drunk, running up gambling debts, buying crackers made by little hands, burning limbs and homes with unstable crackers and I am going to get stoned by people for being the royal Grinch who loves pissing on their love conquers all parade.

Make merry and have some ladoos and may all that cholesterol jam your arteries and...yeah SHUD UP DEE!!

PS: Note to the self- move the monk down- happy hours are so be-loody over!
