Ennui
By Saad Javed
Listless and lethargic, I sit
And wait
For my turn at the barbershop,
I know the dexterous hands
Of the blathering barber
Would ruin my hair, too
For I would ask him to do,
The very same thing
I fail to even laugh,
At myself
Pity my catharsis comes through a haircut,
Pity my barber is my shrink,
Pity my falling hair teach me,
Growing affections too, are
To be cut,
Evil be nipped in the bud!
Pity I hang between what I know
And want to know,
What I feel
And want to feel…

@Usman Mir:
Thank you Usman. Thank you so very much. I'm grateful you went out of your way and looked it up on the internet and found it and cared enough to appreciate it. For all this, my gratitude is immense. And if I were a fair-skinned firangi, I'd be blushing red rite now.
:D
