Knows & hence
- A.Thiagarajan
When we get out into the open
you suddenly fade into the green room
not appearing on the stage anymore
and by any chance if you do
got snubbed as uninformed
and went into the kitchen
or the office
to get tea or food
or at least cash to pay for ..
You never felt the snub
we took you for granted
the chair in the corner
the excel in the laptop
it was insensitive
but an exalted sensitive
to suppress-
you sounded
more uneducated
and not knowing
what is it today
"not your olden days
the world is different"
the vision clearer
at the end of the tunnel
a strict one way street
reversing is illness-
madness is
it has to be black
before greying..
in an eternal flux
the water boils
without ever steaming
nor evaporating
and the threatening burst
worse than the burst
knowing its non-happening
a silent unspoken conspiracy
in the cacophany of
words and rhymes or simply
strokes of hand or of the tongue
passing on
in blessed barrenness
the sunrise and the moonrise
finding eternal pleasure
in buses being punctual
an award winning writing
getting a 25% discount..
in the smile of the guru
inside the asylum
they believe
it is madness outside-
the guy who runs across
saying he is Edison
has a conviction
and does not try
to make all believe so-
he knows
and he is
