AFTER CONSUMING A BARREL OF WINE

He babbled incoherently at innocuous pedestrians traversing

through the streets,
Clenched his fist high in the air; barking a malicious volley of
rustic expletives,
Spat loads of colored saliva on the ground; blending superbly
with the loosely sprawled mud,
Danced languidly listening to the slightest of music; eventually
collapsing in a bedraggled heap on the ground,
Swayed frivolously at fair skin; only to be slapped with fervor on
his bearded cheek,
Occasionally stumbled badly on sharp pieces of stone; hurtling at
fast speeds to get a taste of disdainful soil,
Scratched his hair in wild rhapsody; with a ravishing hunger in
his blood shot eyes,
Took deep breaths every once a while; as if getting strangulated
by bouts of suffocation,
Wailed passionately; vociferously proclaiming his unrelenting
misery and tyrannical pain,
Was thoroughly oblivious to his boisterous surrounding; lost in
realms of sedative fantasy,
Had lost all appetite for cooked food; relinquished to chew and
eat,
Looked waywardly towards the sky; trying to decipher his
blurred destiny,
Rebuked his children severely at home; at their most innocuous
of provocation,
Kicked acerbically intricate furniture in vicinity; dismantling the
sanctity of
household to threadbare junk,
Illegibly scribbled few lines of script; making a ridiculous
mockery of calligraphy,
Slapped his wife with tenacity on her ear; for disobeying his
dictatorial rules,
Audaciously revealed startling facts about his life; which he had
embedded
deep within his heart,
Was saved by the scruff of his neck on umpteenth an occasion;
from high powered cars; and monstrous traffic,

He had completely lost the dignity to speak; the ability to stand

firm on his knees; distinguish the light illuminating air from
darkness,
In the end; he collapsed in a disheveled heap on the ground;
awaiting the first rays of brilliant dawn to terminate his sleep;
wash all traces of the barrel of red wine; he had obsessively
consumed the previous night
