neonlit streets leading nowhere
like unmarked pathways to absentee destinations
spreadout arms seeking nobody
like decision-lacking forks in unsure confusion

where am I going and who do I await
what exactly is it that I am questioning

poodles of irony-clustered happenings
charmless, witless and often unreasonable
devoid of a drive and absence of desire
like a box gifted with suffixed nonsense

mixed emotions in remixed pop-songs
like crossed donations of opulent wrongs
marred divorce of unmarried souls
charred remains of unwritten story

what am I crying and why do I sigh
what exactly is it that I am trying to say

let's just forget about what this means
like an ill-formed idea of an ideal life
let's simply try to smile at the passerby
and marvel at the way he smiles back

Hi all,
I am back after a while... and don't know where this came from or is going to... but like I say in the subject... just push play and live life for a little while and the answers and reasons have all the reason to follow... sorry for the philosophy, if it intrudes with your way of life... but, many thanks for reading...
***
This is indeed a great place to be...

"mixed emotions in remixed pop-songs

Ah Sudhir ... Welcome home dear friend!   This is a wonderful gathering of thoughts, much pondering, with one sweet and simple conclusion:

"let's simply try to smile at the passerby
and marvel at the way he smiles back"

Can you see me smiling back at you?  I am ... great to read you again!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Fantastic my friend! So good to read you again. You have a great way of framing thoughts that I envy. Thanks and don't be so long between posts.  

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.

Yes Sudhir sometimes when things are happening in our lives we don't understand or agree with perhaps all we can do is let the situation play itself out...perhaps it will go our way and perhaps it will go away...James

Maybe this was re-mixed thoughts to you, but to me it was wonderful.
