Life as we know it
The cursor blinks
empty pages stare back
the walls remain where they are
in the shower a happy child wryly shakes his head
in the neon-flood of the streets
I get washed amidst
1.
waxy-artificial girls dressed in
high heels-low cut dresses
long overcoats-short skirts
2.
teen beefcakes screaming-speeding
on their bikes
3.
overweight mothers in Lycra lost
in their IPods with their toddlers
throwing curious glances
I call my soul-mate
She asks me to mellow out-ease up
I smile and start over

This has so much more clarity, Sumeet. It's like a deep breath in the mind.
I love the way you set up the piece, and told a story, beginning, middle and end.
And the ending was well done. Each moment is a start-over, don't you think?
I enjoyed reading this.
Happy writing,
Betty
