A flickering sparkle of momentarily flash
never quite becoming a fire; wry smile,
a tiny tinder of expectations never quite catching hold,
saddest thing that rains on a ruined married life
is long drawn face sullen
unmoving in its sullied sadness
that perfected vacancy of joy lost
amidst quite stampede of unenventful life
glinting with sardonic smile amiss of strange happiness
at occasional crackle of colored bits of papers,
irritating tinkle of bits of pieces of metals
interrupting dowdy existence of communal commonplace
only to fold back to its unemotional state
of unhurried misery when fleeting moment blows past-
