A painter stands in an empty corner
In a crowded quarters
The streets crisscross like
The tangled thoughts of
A crazy jealous
A man
A woman
A something in between
A confused
A confusion
A painter stands with a last painting tube
A half empty … thought
A broken brush
A casual encounter produces
A distorted image
The ageing painter looks through
The crowd … shapes blurred
A failure registers
Unrecognised
The shapes blurred in agony
In the painter’s mind painting
Shapeless thought
The radio announces
Thoughtcrimes are on the rise
Shapeless thought painted
On broken canvas whistles!
