Poetry/Man's Town

Poetry Poetry born out of crisis, Dilemma, Hamletian to be, ot to be, Out of inner and psychic crisis and dilemma, Hamlet undergoing the crisis, the poetic dilemma Of to be, not to be, In between the two horns of a dilemma. Macbeth handshaking with Hamlet And Hamlet with Othello, King Lear and Prospero While on the other Dr.Faustus And Beckettian absurd personae Getting ready behind the curtain For their turn to come. Man's Town God planned it otherwise, But man towns and cities Mechanical and artificial Of traffic jams and crowds. Man's town of fly ash, Cemented structures Bereft of seasonal whiffs and wisps, Change in season. When do seasons come and go away, We know it not, Landscapes and landmarks too look changed As the same highway structure. Man's town so dull, drab and dreary And routined, Always tense and care-worn, It's a matter of survival and existence.
