The Absent Authority And The Absent Poet

The authority is absent And this is the time to be famous, You just begin, begin to write. Into the no-man's zone, tract are you Straying into the border areas To pass out as a no-man. And even if you are not a poet, Call you yourself, A compiler as a critic. A poetatster, a rhymer, a commoner and a non-poet, All holding seminars, workshops, symposia and conferences Just for to be poets and critics. And that too the poets and critics of the nowhere to be traced Indian English poetry And the practising critc an unmoustached student. The poet not a poet, but a rhymer, a poetaster, A commoner and a non-poet, Just keep on posting.
