Cause And Effect

Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)



the usual vocabulary
with the same syntax perpetual and
verbatim;
with infective phrases and the same narratives;
with the clauses and  claws
sharp and deceptive;
the usual howling-barking
with the same feathers and the same flocking,
the hidings, the appearances,
clippings and clapping,
shedding and shadings,
nothing new, only evil
designs and  merciless plots,
patterns and morphology as  exposed and identified ;
the much watched salivation
-frothing
appearances and disappearances
only a place in place of others
but always  becoming darker and darker from uglier to the
ugliest.
