And It was actually an earthquake

Have you ever felt an earthquake?I have specially today and more than the scenario I focused upon the reaction of the people around me who already thought it to be their last day;D

It started nowhere and ended abruptly

The sensation was not long-lasting enough to be endured for the entirety of the noon.

The sun became a mere star,

Which evanesced easily ,as if it had got a color fade.

The table and Shakespearean sonnets were jiggling

And the whole building seemed to shake.

Sensing the tremor thrice,

Never did I realize it was an "earthquake"

The earth was jumping to its feet

Or it's phone was simply on vibrate

These things tormented my mind and evoked laughter.

When that old,authoritarian librarian told us to evacuate

In the open garden was discerned a deluge of people

Coming in multitudes,to invade like those Barbaric tribes.

Some people were squirming inside,

Already believing it to be their last day

And I? I was simply standing in the corner of that open field,

Steeped deeply into the vigorous working of my jaws

Relishing the taste of Hot garlic bread and Jalapeno

While admiring the scenery around and connecting it to the 2012 prophecy.

I cannot share what exactly I felt at that moment..It's too frickin' stupid to share publicly ;P

I only saw the news and realised that it was an earthquake, though no one came out around here in this part of delhi.. and people believed it was their last day? Damn, I missed it; I'd have made someone s**t their pants... they'd deserve that. Now I really wish there were people that dumb here!! Could use some comedy..

And heyy... even I had garlic bread though sans the jalepeno and with a cheese burst.. it was a good rejoicement of "survival", eh? :P

[fattycbreezy52]

no I didnt believe it to be my last day but some over-intelligent people definitely jumped to the conclusion.Yes a good rejoicement of survival:D

I like it! So relevant I can't help but read it as a work of poetic journalism. I love how you put 'earthquake' in quotation marks, it creates a real barrier between the voice and the event, making it seem so alien.

[fattycbreezy52]

Haha you are seriously that kind of reader who takes me the way I want the readers to take me as.It's successful.And yes this actually happened Today with me with all the details which I have described above. You should have seen man:D

Inspiration has a way of find you, fatty, yes?
The planet bid you 'write' and made sure you would. I can picture you standing there munching on bread and studying the frightened people as if they were mice in a science project. I pray the planet does not want you to write about floods or explosions. Stay safe, sweet poet, and keep your writing papers close beside you.

[fattycbreezy52]

such a soothing message full of warmth and tenderness.you are my writer's cafe mommy.You are just like my mom.Thanks Kevin.I thought i was about to die toay;D

[Misery]

You are always welcome, fatty; and I'm (as are many others here) very glad that you did not die today. Stay away from older buildings until the aftershocks subside.
