A story concerning the future of some

poor guy. Incidentally, the man was originally an

agnostic atheist. But then his emotions get the

better of him, and he thus converts to theism. If

the story does illustrate a fixed future, then it

follows that the future will hold regardless of

one's actions.

The graphics by which the calculus is borne

to prescribe the sign sand pathway of the mind

none can unlock with statistics or bindto metal currency like fish and corn;

for neither time bomb nor flagman can scorn

the sure numerals the gnomon has signed.

Be a dryad, a glyptic seeing or blind,the calculus will wound you with its horn:

so fine a machine can demolish the artwe raise against the phalanx it employs,the human tactics we plot on our chart

melt before its argument like plastic toysdolmen, alar, crude, tied to the womb

like sex,it is the savior that comes with an ax.

MONTAGE

Clouds of night jammed in one wickedCorner of sleep. She hoards themLike a child and triumphantly piecesThem into a total singular perspective;Splayed-off tatters of mornings,A dark undisciplined of clouds settledRight into the atmosphere recreatingHer Monday-world, jolted suddenlyInto the teeth of everyday peopleAnd cluttering pans of slapdash.She exudes it now becominglyAs she glides and putters aboutAlternately, spreads it as a hazeEnveloping her form, perfectlyDissolved in solid tones and chromes.A jewel durably enciphered in mist,Old gold etched in ever-emerging shades.

Monday jolts and she bogs down, a ragbagSplayed off at tangents. WindowsTo the outside and flecks of facesSpring the morning clear to set herInto her old dimensions. Piece by pieceShe puts on eight o’ clock, pillowsAnd bedcovers in a tumble pat herIn place. The clearest out glassOf grapefruit juice teetering on a silverTray for breakfast-in-bed exigencies(Both for effect and effectively)Is for a fact but fictive in the mind.

Which holds the moment a little longer,Stalls the stupor of the previous night,Images of her beautiful in blank spaces,Wandering truant like in a private region;

National Artist

for Theater and Literature

"A Life in the Slums"

It is a comedy of manners with musical numbers. The play is very funny; biting at some points, and will definitely open the eyes of people on the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of the rich and their ambivalent attitude towards the poor.
