Not A Nostradamus December 1, 2022

An entry ebullient.The feet that touched the head displaying a serpentine posture, the legs that struck to the cadenceexactly like the trot of the peacock the knees that squat elegantly while dancingunlike the shoddy exercise ones the hip that swirled and whirledlike a windy breeze. not too harsh. Staying stagnant.The nimble feet have turned woodentoggle an […]

Oh! A Sunday November 30, 2022

On Sundays my abode virtually shifts to a noiseless place. A havenin heaven. Early morning my brass bolsteredred gate displays variegated items,Newspapers shoved between them milk sachet in a suspended bag.I engage in solving sudoku and crossword puzzle, hunger creates a commotion, My criminal tastebuds do not brook unpalatable food, demand the besttaken o […]
