Prose of Purposelessness by Mahfuz Al-Hossain

PROSE OF PURPOSELESSNESS

( Dedicated to Prof. Sreetanwi Chakraborty )

Prolonged days of despair
are about to enter into the tunnel of
nostalgic nothingness
with nightmarish unpredictability

Burroughs and Cage
Depending on Himalayan sunrays
Just propping up the stage
for an irremediable viral episode
with unscripted spontaneous acts
of special horror giving up all control

Obituary pages of the Daily E-paper
are overcrowded with the death
references of revered universal truth

Assimilating Apocalyptic Fallacy
the fading tune of Western Bugle
played by Thomas Piketty
dropping down the Keynesian curtain canonically
