One of These Things is Not Like the Other
the words ring haunting
like glittering chimes
massaging the tension
that snakes have left behind
the movements calculated
with subtle exactness
grumbling unsettling
in the pit of sub-conscience
it spews from the opening
bedazzling the thirst
with cunning intention
of unfulfilled firsts
the motions disguised
building disorientation
while raising red flags
in air of misrepresentation
one of these things
is not like the other
another falls victim
to an untamed lover
be defensive and weary
of both that mismatch
for words may be liars
but actions are maps
India
like glittering chimes
massaging the tension
that snakes have left behind
the movements calculated
with subtle exactness
grumbling unsettling
in the pit of sub-conscience
it spews from the opening
bedazzling the thirst
with cunning intention
of unfulfilled firsts
the motions disguised
building disorientation
while raising red flags
in air of misrepresentation
one of these things
is not like the other
another falls victim
to an untamed lover
be defensive and weary
of both that mismatch
for words may be liars
but actions are maps
India
