The stroke took whole pages of words, random years torn from the calendar, the names of roses leaning out over her driveway, Cadenza, Great Western, American Beauty.
She can’t think, can’t drink her morning tea, do her crossword puzzle in ink.
She’s afraid of everything, the sound of the front door opening, light falling through the blinds– she pulls her legs up so the bright bars won’t touch her feet.

Photography can be used effectively used to make stylized representations of the human condition in much the same way as in poetry .Here the photograph ceases to be a mere document depicting the current reality and assumes a much larger profile -that of an artistic representation of a universal truth.In several of these representations you can see the human drama unfolding and the characters playing out their part on much larger canvas ,their immediate concerns losing their significance and their role and scope enlarged beyond the immediate context.

As physicist Paul Davies of Arizona State University in Tempe points out, we don’t really observe the passage of time; what we observe is that later states of the world differ from earlier states that we remember.

Copies
Poetry is hard to come by
For want of uninterrupted views
From inside my brain.
Words jingle but not the views.
At the window I see a tiny strip
Of the winter sky
And some passing shadows
Woman carries headload
Of red shiny bricks .
Not just one but three.
Not the bricks but the women
In white polyester sarees
A colourful copy I am in a hurry
To classify and file “save as”
I am in too much of a hurry
To make a play about it
With tall earthly creatures
As dramatis personae
Actually it sounds a bit foolish
To enlarge mere copies
For they only depixellate
The sky is lost irretrievably
And the trees lose greenness.
All the while I need their largeness
Their solidity and their greenness.
But the copies !
Bin Laden is not the guy behind 9/11
Wonderful.Bin Laden is not the guy behind 9/11 because otherwise the American administration would already have put him behind the bars.In other words , the fact that he is still at large is proof enough that he is not the brain behind 9/11.Also , somebody has got to be the brain and he should have been already behind bars.Khalid Sheikh Mohmed is already behind bars and therefore eminently qualifies to be the brain behind 9/11.
