The Garden of Eden

 

Bet t’was what seemed like yet another busy day during spring that year

Under the glowing petals crawled a shiny lady bug, bright, happy and clear

Must have seen a rent-board on the flower so it thought it could unleash its lineage

Must have come there again to relive and not relieve yesterday’s heartbreak

Yesterday was yesterday and it decided it wants to crawl on without a break

Butterflies fluttering their flap-flaps, here, there, everywhere

Esoteric they are, sucking sweetness through their proboscis

Articulate as they are, they look like a crowd rather than a swarm

Reality as usual is a prick ‘cos the story’s different here

That one ugly butterfly knew it’d be alone if it spoke the truth.

It’d be happy in a paradise made of plaster of Paris if it knew how to lie.

But loneliness was its only companion either ways. 

So....

It sang its song of pain and despair, for it was in love with the dandelion

The dandelion was truly, madly, deeply in love with the Butterfly too

They had planned so much, even thought of doing a world trip!!

Two different species and the universe conspired to bring unison

Just like the flip-side of a coin and the dark-side of the moon,

Every conspiracy inflicts pain and results in death and separation

They loved each other but never understood each other.

Love knows no bounds and needs no language said some ageing oaf

Well, no sire, it's always bound and needs two people on the same page

The duo fought most odds, yet, never could understand each other

Time is a dick, never united him and her, let alone fulfilling their plans

The separation gagged the butterfly and killed his true self in time

He was the swift one who could dodge swatters and researchers

Haha!! But he couldn’t dodge love, could he?

His clan wished he returned to where he claimed he was from

But he wanted to challenge what humans called ‘Love kills’

Impervious to emotions, he fell for it

Love thrills but also kills, in THE.......

....GARDEN of EDEN

Fevi-fscking Kwik!

So I was sitting, doing nothing, with Vaktun playing loud on my headset. I could hear a tuk-tuk-tuk sound on the background though the volume in the headset was blaring!
I took the headset off and started looking around. Turned out that water was dripping off the air-conditioner in my room. It was dripping on my office bag and sort of created a pool of freezing cold water on my bed.
"Fuck!", I exclaimed and checked the laptop, water was all over it, but it still was running. Good.

Now, how the fuck does water drip off an AC? I went out, had a look at the unit placed outside and the outlet pipe was fine. Drops of water were dripping off it, just like it should.
I climbed onto my bed and opened the front panel of the AC. A curved part just above the blower vents, served like a container and was filled with water. Water, from Aliens-know-where was dripping into it; overflowed and then found its way through the vents and tuk-tuk-tuk'ing on my bed.
Screw Valhalla!!

I made a dash into the kitchen, brought a vessel and a pipe. One end of the pipe into the AC and the other in my mouth. Nostalgia kicked in!
Days when I'd suck water off one bucket of water and would let it flow into another. Employed the same, just that a lot of dust made its way into my mouth. About a litre of super cold water came through. All good now.

I noticed that the AC filters were full of dust, hair and it practically couldn't filter anymore. I took the filters off and cleaned them. Went to put them back into place, but one filter split on its side. It had to be firm so I had to fix it.

That is where it split.

Fevi Kwik to the rescue!! So I wiped that part of the filter dry and applied that son of a gun to it. I was aligning the beam together but it bounced back. That, coupled with some terrific co-incidence and nature's plot of blinding me, helped a drop of Fevi Kwik into my left eye. Fucked up! I thought I'd now have to live a Pirate's life.
Took a glass of water and the next thing I saw was the bottom of the glass through water. My eye became numb.
Eye felt better, but it still was uncomfortable. Did the glue cause an abrasion on my cornea??? Asked my mirror "Mirror mirror on the wall, do you think I'll be blind?". It replied "No!!".

Still feel a little uncomfortable but have been through this feeling previously. Nothing when compared to other feelings I reckoned.

Game over.
