That Bling Factor

For all those bright shiny things…

Who strive for perfection
O that Bling
Bundle up your big fat belly and Shu-shhhhhh
For bygones are bygones; no one's ever gonna remember your aura
For your time's crumbling to stardust; no one's ever gonna see you or remember your aura
Oh that Bling factor, that mighty bling
X-mas trees, champagne, oil-lamps, hallucinogens, opium, color pyramids
Sure, they are all yours; But only for that much longer
before reality hits you flat on your nose
Oh that mighty Bling
Weep over your pillow, let out an orgasmic sigh followed by sweet, yellow liquor
O dear that Bling, that Bling factor

VERSUS Text (for Sulk Station's track, Contentment)

This is something that I wrote after collaborating with Avril Stormy Unger of "The Storm Factory" (Bangalore) and the music band "Sulk Station" (Bangalore) as part of VERSUS. This was written specifically to complement one of Sulk Station's original tracks, Contentment and was presented in recitation format, live. The text came to life after discussions with the choreographer, Avril, and her inputs,feelings and thoughts on the track- Contentment

What are You
Why is the time
Do you not sleep her coffee
Do you forgive and fall
Can you not completely collide
When you ran off ecstasy
Why didn't you c
Why didn't you c
WHY DIDN'T YOU C

 Which angle of freedom are you baffling me with
 Which are you trying to be, why you are really not
 How don't you c ; How don't you c
Won't you plead and plunder
Won't you predict my penniless pocket
Whose alibi are you
Where did the abyss arise
Can you count those countless cans of secrets
Did you eat your burnt soul
Will you walk my dream
How much and why not ; How much and why not
Fill your insides with my ego's blood
When will you succumb from your slithering skin

 Who played and purges his plate
Why are your eyes empty
Won't you please pause and freeze
When you are outlawed and outrageous
For your time has not begun, from the very beginning
From the very beginning
Why don't you box my eardrums
Where did your innocence run away
 Where Was She
