_______________________________________________________
Tik 20 , Tik 20,

Tick , tick

Twenty , twenty

Twenty is plenty

And enough is enough.

But I have to be a coward

To wish otherwise,

Why else , should there be

Butterflies

In my stomach , when I take to air ?

Me,

Who was himself a butterfly

Once upon a time !

Bring that bottle to me ,

In any case

Impotents cannot die –

Besides,

Am I not a later day Socrates ?

( I wonder if Socrates was married ! )

Am I not entitled

To my cup of ecstasy

Floating on these clouds ?

Hamlock , Tik 20,

What difference does it make ?

I do not think

The sky will cry

Or the sea get indigestion

Should this plane go down !

As for you,

You will cry your heart out

Till it is empty

( your tears might even fill,

A bottle of Tik 20 ! )

Get rid,

Of yourself

Of this infection

You have called love,

I had no right

To enter your life –

But having entered

Can I tip toe

Into the waiting arms

Of the Amavasya night

Without , so much as saying ,

Sayonara , Al Vida,

Goodbye !
