“Mornings” – Club 8

Part I

Once I was asked, “Who might probably see a sunrise?”

I thought it was above thinking twice and said, “Surely everyone, only if they are living.”

But it turned out to be a butt for I was quite simple-minded. I hadn’t realized that till someone cued me, “When was the last time you saw a sunrise?”

How I wished I’d been able to answer him, and yet somehow I couldn’t.

Being dumb was not that easy, not like when I was asked something on syntax or phonetics.

I couldn’t remember when it was the last time I saw a sunrise because I’m always up well after the sun is up. I simply take it for granted that the sun rises every day no matter if I witness it by the window.

The answer emerged that one has to stay up till dawn to see a sunrise.

But why does he have to?

Because he’s all alone.

Part II

Really doubt if it is dawn

Chromatic wash on the lawn

A verdant place turns fawn

Fine enough to stifle a yawn

Man in bed looks so drawn

Beside another he is a pawn

Intimacy would not be sawn

Without cruelty or a bit of brawn

Oh beer
In my life where you adhere
I’ve never had a seer
Along with me year after year

Oh here
You splashed my trendy gear
At nothing did I peer
Somehow I heard my heart shedding tears

Oh dear
You kissed me with a leer
I didn’t let out jeers
But needed to disappear

So weird
Why should I have to fear
Of all the things I hear
At least I could veer
From the cliff to which I career
