  49. FREE SALIVA

  When i spit saliva on brackish complexioned tan ground,

  there were pearly streaks of white formed amidst an assemblage of disdainful black.

  when i spit saliva on the scintillating surface of immaculate marble,

  hordes of pedestrians tripped headlong; after an encounter with the slippery surface.

  when i spit saliva on ravishing morsels of steaming food,

  the concoction transited to a fetid brown; hosting an army of obnoxious mosquito.

  when i spit saliva on delectable pints of frosty milk,

  the opulently prosperous liquid turned into fermented bitter cream.

  when i spit saliva on finely decimated granules of sugar,

  it produced a molten ointment of jaggery; deleterious to health.

  when i spit saliva on arid patches of blistering air,

  the ambience was submerged in passionate humidity; pacifying high strung temper.

  when i spit saliva on the surface of vast sapphire ocean,

  it simply faded into oblivion ;diffusing amongst colossal chains of trapped salt.

  when i spit saliva in vehicular petrol,

  the elixir was rendered useless for further use; failing miserably in its

  attempts to rekindle the machine.

  when i spit saliva on a jugglery of software electronic,

  the contraption hissed currents of venomous electricity; electrocuting tender bones in my skin.

  when i spit saliva on slithering persona of jungle reptile,

  its demeanor glittered like pure gold; blended with stripes of vibrant yellow.

  when i spit saliva on crisp sheets of morning paper,

  the manuscript was reduced to threadbare pulp; with distorted lines of English literature.

  when i spit saliva on burning embers of black coal,

  the flames died a natural death; with sporadic spurts in intensity.

  when i spit saliva on parched soil of the desert,

  it applauded my efforts; thanking me heartily for my assiduous efforts.

  and when i didn't spit saliva at all; my body

  retaliated in poignant anger,

  irresistible sensations proliferated in my mouth,

  and i eventually burst open my constipated mouth; emitting a frothy spray; as it didn't cost me to spit loads of free saliva.

 

 

  50. THE SCARY TARANTULA

  The ambience was moistened with sweat and fresh rain,

  darkness prevailed at all quarters,

  soft car seat was reclined to full angularity,

  cluster of lotus flower petal imparted heavenly fragrance,

  lid of olive perfume bottle was left ajar,

  sheets of turbulent wind had left the windows painted with dust,

  plush upholstery gleamed in airtight interiors,

  grocery baskets were stashed in the back seat,

  a black bodied insect seemed to be crawling on the windshield,

  with an army of hairy legs kissing the bullet proof glass,

  the tarantula finally decided to perch for the night,

  in hidden enclosures of the rear view glass panel.

  she haughtily stepped in the car,

  beaming at the prospect of driving through the misty valley,

  switched on the sleek stereo system,

  drove with the enchanting air hitting her pale skin,

  drowned completely in tantalizing tunes of Caribbean music.

  there was a loud honking sound, a goods caravan seemed to overtake,

  she cast routine glances at the rear assembly of mirror,

  the ghastly sight she witnessed sent chills down the last bone of her spine,

  occasional bumps and winding turns had disturbed the spider,

  jostled it wide awake from lazy realms of blissful sleep,

  the foot long monster now emitted hostile stares at the young lady,

  showed first signs of slow movement,

  now fully alert after few hours of revitalizing rest.

  she cried at the top of her weak lungs for help,

  infinite goose-bumps emanated from her body,

  her fingers trembled convulsively, with equal impact on her dainty feet,

  the car finally swerved violently,

  lost sensible degrees of control as she went into partial trance,

  crashed into splinters of side hand rail,

  went tumbling down the steep valley at electric speeds,

  as the tarantula advanced a few inches further.

  The End .
