the escalator
elation and depression
what goes up comes down

a shopaholic
a lengthening shopping list
let the prices drop ..

  1. these parallel lines make me think of those days I am just hoping life will work me a break and bend around my desires. Interesting composition. Thanks.

  2. I see elation and depression in the second also. I was just discussing shopping with some friends and how the brain gets a high from this and how addictive it can be.

  3. Hi Zoya, these are neat. Personally, I think that without professional help the escalator of depression goes down, down, and down, never stopping.
    That's a depressing thought, huh? :-)

  4. hi jim,

    poetry is not a disruptive tool -

    - it believes in the essential goodness of all beings - of all things

    it is a vehicle of hope -

    even in its talk of depression it seeks to address the human condition -

    it has the naivety of a child saying -
    " why just bless india god , why not the world - u can if u try " .
