Meaning
It wasn’t the sparkling, beautiful post Autumn morning that affected him so but the hollow feeling of abject meaninglessness. He longed for a street vendor on the corner selling beetle nut, Spear and loose cigarettes he could frequent for some company and casual conversation.

Dead man waking
The minutes into hours into days into weeks, months, years , a decade and then two. He sat defiant through the seasons, the probing looks and stares scattered at his feet like arrows blunted by metal.

The Arrogance of Youth
Time did not begin with the dawn of the internet. Essentially what you see on it is what others want you to and what you seek out yourself.

Morning World
The good people of the neighborhood were going to work to the backing track of birds chirping their hello’s to each other and the hum of vehicular traffic. A motorbike rumbled past.
