The stillness

I stare in disbelief at the mechanical rotating fan.
(As if there are digital non rotating fans!!)
Where have I started? Where have I ended?

The unpleasantness of it all, the sadness of it all,
hurts me.
Why me? Why then? Why now?

I am half blessed and half cursed.
I realized that long back.
The confusion is about which part is blessed.

The drive back, is purposeless, energy less,
joyless.
Unacknowledged. Unappreciated.

The drive to, is thoughtful, hopeful and
incremental.
Or, thats what I thought.

Dear Gaylord Focker,
I pitied you,
until I met myself.
