taken away

me: are you upset?

K: not a bit.

me: honestly?

K: if there is a thing mundane that still has the power to upset you then you aren't quite accustomed to life as it is.

me: oh! but you could simply tell me what happened instead of playing a word game.

K: let's not analyze and evaluate the situation this way. everythin fades. everythin needs a little bit of time to do so.

me: you want me to leave you alone?

K: no.

me: ok..

Pause..Long Pause

me: imagine you are on a highway..

K: okay..then?

me: the sunset is getting closer and you're alone

K: so..

me: So, do you want music of any kind?

K: Yeah..!

me: any song in particular?

K: No, I don't want music..

me:and do you want to move a little back in time?

K: where is that supposed to taken me?

me: to the afternoon we left behind.

K: alright..afternoon

me: It's cloudy now..had been sunny day. Do you hear any sounds?

K: yes of course, there are others zooming past..

me: and they are honking..that sound stretches across the air and stays with you for some seconds after its gone..

K: yeah..

me: but you're takin it slow..

K:yeah I am very tired of speed. Genuinely tired of it..

me: and so you're sticking to the edge of the highway, letting others leave you behind and not caring a bit about it.

K: yeah..not caring a bit about it..

me: do you like what you see?

K: I see tall trees on both sides..merging on top of the road

me: like forming a canopy/

K: I see fields of lush green..of probably paddy

me: and you want to get down and find for yourself?

K: yeah..

short Pause..

K: they have been watered sometime back, i think. that moisture has drenched the air

me: and that air you breathe in..isn't it enlivening?

K: Let's get back on the highway? I want a walk

me: can you see the milestone? what does it say?

K: Can't read. It's dark now. Don't care to read. Not all distances wants to be measured..

me: Do you know your destination?

K: No

me: you're walking away on the highway. And now the sunset is approaching. Cars with their headlights on zoom in and out of vision, blinding you for a while, and in between yu see the the road ahead in a semi-lit darkness.

K:Hmm..

me: Very few things matter to you now. You can see through life..

K:

Pause..Long Pause

K: you there?

me: -jerked out of sleep- are you done?
