My Beautiful Air Hostess
- Deep from the Soul -
K. Radhakumar *
High in the air
Suddenly I float on air.
I do not know
Why I am happinessbitten;
It just happens, it just flies in.
The psychology of a passenger in a plane!
Don't you complicate the matter.
Uh, yeah, I hope so.
Clouds or flowers.
That flower of a cloud.
Was it a dog or a cat
Or both?
When I was a child
Clouds came to life.
Not anymore.
To be a man is to be the one
Who is no longer interested in cloud dogs?
The imaginative child
As the father of the infertile man!
And the man in his late fifties
Looking back nostalgically to his childhood!
Life has snapped the connecting rope in two.
The man has grown taller, bigger –
Yes, he has put on weight.
Years have added nothing concrete
Towards the betterment of the quality of life;
No step is taken for the good of all mankind.
Is a life
Other than this life on earth possible?
My daddy once wrote:
Death is another name of life.
A place for the dead
And another place for the living!
This is a new world
And this is life among strangers
Without love and hatred
Without cut-throat competition.
Some have their doze
Some are reading newspapers.
I have no qualms about taking
A few moments off
A long journey ahead.
Strangely, it is refreshing
And it shortens the boring moments
Of my long, long life.
The good looking air hostess
Behind her trolley of goods
Smiling a small smile –
Ah, a small smile
On the morning face of the fair sex
Is far, far better than
All the cosmetics in the world.
