More than four directions

It takes a breezy morning
after months of taking the
same road east
to slowly reveal some
more mountains

In the city of mountains
in every direction
each road
is a new direction.

On the ground

Flashing lights and a squeaky long alarm
Respite only when you hear
The cause for this alarm is being investigated

This continues.

The plane was delayed
maybe to not miss this show.

An obnoxious sound from the intercomm
the distress of many can
be saved by one's
largesse of holding down a button.

Eustachian tubes

A child bawls
when the plane
is about to descend

I know his name
Raghav
called out to
stop him each time
he would run out of
sight

My pride in my
Eustachian tubes
took a blow
when skydiving
I thought
I would die

Fawns

are born without odor
says Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

Not odorless like
Aveeno's fragrance free
daily moisturising lotion
which has a medicinal odor.

Pure water has no taste.

The Hidden Life of Deer.

In the wild

an animal
is safe
lonely

Paper cycle

One evening
I waited for a tricycle
one that would hide
if my dad couldnt bring it

why do we stop at that?
Why not ask for a
plane
boat
palace

If you are teaching how to make a paper boat, learn how to make a T shirt out of it along with the story.

A woman is
adding red to the
pepperoni pizza

Grease kills appetite.
