45. THE MIDAS TOUCH 

 

When I want it the most, 

I feel the most deprived.

 

When I like it the most, 

It just fades into oblivion.

 

When I feel it the most, 

It stabs me like thousand burnt needles.

 

When I dig deep for treasure, 

It buries itself to unsurpassable heights.

 

When I stare into space, 

It shoots missiles of polluted dust.

 

When I eat scarlet apple pies, 

They turn into pieces of hard stone.

 

When I drive my dream Mitsubishi, 

The twin rubber brakes snap into two.

 

When I sit on a racehorse, 

It kicks like a donkey kissed with cigarette but.

 

When I plunge into still water, 

An outburst of icy waves drown me down.

 

When I climb seemingly harmless barbed wire, 

It spits electric sparks of bare current.

 

When I flex my voice for impression, 

It blurts out discordant notes of music.

 

When I sip volumes of frosty milk, 

It turns to fermented yellow sour cream.

 

When I run with the wind, 

Showers of rain and chill, come pouring down.

 

When I kneel down on the satiny mattress, 

Fluffs of cotton leak out in frenzy.

 

When I hand glide into deep valleys, 

A barricade of sharp rock, causes me to nose dive.

 

When I sail in a luxury liner, 

Water floods into cabin compartments.

 

When I try gesticulating for help, 

My hands get trapped with spasmodic paralysis.

 

And when finally I feel like sobbing hysterically, 

Arrays of tear ducts get blocked.

 

That’s what I call folks, 

The one and only my kind of Midas Touch.
