Zero Gravity Haiku
Of aeroplane, airport and flying
What I intended
It's the home in the valley,
Now I'm nowhere
You fly, you don’t soar
No matter how high you are;
Addiction mishap
With nothing to do,
Look at the air hostesses;
Dolls and plastic smile
The impending home
Thousands of dreams and desires
But fucked with no plan
Gladly I go home
Or I leave home listlessly,
The to-and-fro blues
The girl up the aisle,
She looks gorgeous from behind
Forosa, from front
Required: Tongue cleaners,
Four cabin crews have fainted
Make up overdosed
The half open eyes
Sleepy ride to the airport,
But the home’s all up
Familiar beds
The familiar faces
Fuckedup folks and fears
Glide through the cotton
White and off-white clouds;
Nature’s candy floss
Two hours left for home
The one-hour delayed flight;
Time’s always a bitch
Land at Guwahati
Beware of rhinoceros
The Ahoms and Bongs
Two haiku away
The impatient airport waits;
Full bladder, pumped up
What you are is here
High above hills and houses
—The human ego
Imphal always waits
For people; I don’t know who;
Blood, bombs and bullets
Planes have flying gears
Reverse gears and steering wheels
Fuck the science consoles
It’s the longest place
Even the sun is nearer
Waiting for luggage
In eighteen haiku
We reach the land of ULFA;
Next, UNLF’s
