A toast to the evergreen

Let's see; so I'm supposedly in love
And I'm full of fear, you know, the usual
But somehow something doesn't add up
There's a moon in the sky
A black moon in a blue sky, angels in denial.

And now that you're craving for your freedom
Here's a toast to the evergreen Mrs. Robinson!
All I have left in the fridge is a half-eaten chocolate
And a carton of milk; and a bit of myself left to waste.

You see, the halls have started crumbling down
The pillars are finally giving away to sanity
Entropy, my friend, is a strange beast
It might wait, but will cut you down eventually.

The door to the left opens on the highway
Before you leave, play me a song if you may
You know, we are all Devils, playing by time
Now that your turn is up, we aren't worth a dime.

Usually after dark, some lights wake up -
Age old Oedipus murdering his creator
And if you're still wondering what this means,
Here's a toast to the evergreen Mrs. Robinson!

বন্ধু

 ভোর-রাতে, নিঃশব্দে সময় এসেছিল পাশে  জীবনের কিছু ক্ষণ নিয়ে অণুবীক্ষণ যন্ত্রে । হাতে হাত, পুরোনো দুই বন্ধুর দেখা বহুদিন পর; হঠাৎ করেই খুঁজে...
