My Training

Setting my alarm clock to five,
I sleep with a sense of satisfaction,
well, sleep does come without notice,
for my body aches in its anticipation.

To give it a little more boost,
I walk my way to the stop,
I pronounce myself a fitness freak,
I couldn't have borne the brunt,
if at all my legs could speak..

Hunger sprawling in my stomach,
I get into my cab,
As if speaking would increase the hunger,
no one dares to utter,
well, this explains the silence while going,
my friend, you dont wanna know what comes after..

Standing in a queue, I wait for my turn,
plate in hands, we are served one by one.
Though 'inmates', the only thing missing
are uniforms with stripes black and white,
"worst food" recipe was misplaced I guess,
they do add salt, which helps it go down the pipe.

Torture on legs was not yet over,
have cycles to process and protocols to cover,
on heavy bottles and chemicals I strive,
nose mask for safety?
I think Personal protection equipments can take your life.

Thinking of taking a break,
I go to the coffee corner,
though the machine tried its best,
it just coulnt make cappuchino any colder.

now as the needle strikes six, I sit back n relax,
time to go back, but wait, this is not the end.
Local music for your pleasure
did they forget their hearing aids,
as they talk in inhuman gestures!
Nah! music so loud, atleast it makes the traffic look subtle,
I reach home with ringing ears,
winning finally, a lost battle..

But at the end, I need to confess,
these are the things, I now miss,
lying on my bed, as I think,
Four months did pass in a wink..
