Evening Out
Premonition is music and I am dancing to it. Doubts, like a blister peeled too early, when paid excessive attention to, leave a disfigured surface. I am learning you like the switches of a new apartment, looking up to see what I have given life to. Today I decide not to qualify life with abstract nouns. My back is heavy with expectations and I need to feel weightless, if only for a moment. So I am going to take off, and get lost in the city crowd, the great leveller. Will facing anonymous people, other than the ones inside the head, be of help? Or will I still be looking for that upturned pout, listening for that particular intonation of the voice, that peculiar word?
One step at a time, silence and some more...

>>facing anonymous people
good luck!
and "hi"...that counts as one, right?
Still trying to figure out what the first 3 sentences have to do with the rest of the post... :-)

Hmmm. I think you will still have those voices chanting in your head... :-)
Dear Eroteme,
I am still trying to figure out myself what I have written. I suppose I was just playing around with words, seeing their dance, just assembled together. They look good discrete but I am not sure where they fit in the bigger chain... Just like life. :-)
And yes, you were right. I walked through the crowded markets seeing and hearing nothing besides what I "thought" I would! :-))
off topic:
this author on my mag is "blackmailing" me! she's put up Part I of a delightful story and says she'll only put up Part II if she gets enough comments asking her to do so :-) !
I desperately need to read th rest of the story....so wud u all "plz" giv it a read and comment if u will for part II? for me...plz? pass this on if u can too...
btw the story is on vibeshorts.blogspot.com

I liked each one of those sentences (I wouldn't have picked them otherwise) and was wondering whether they were intended to fit in or merely stay in a firmer place than your mind for posterity!! I loved the following sentence:
"I am learning you like the switches of a new apartment, looking up to see what I have given life to."
Please let me use it. Please. I assure you that I will give you credit. :-)
It was the product of some uneasiness, a "desultory" thought and as you said, I wrote so that they would "merely stay in a firmer place than your mind for posterity"
Uncannily enough, the thought/s don't seem unwarranted now. Life takes strange turns. :-)
Thank you for appreciating them for just what they are - words. No more, no less.
"I am learning you like the switches of a new apartment, looking up to see what I have given life to."
the first time i have come across such a simple yet a very effective comparison. deep impact!
