WHO AM I?
K. SRINIVASAN
Whenever I remember
The incombustible moments of spur
Heart reverberates, finding an answer
To the question who am I
Am I simply zoological homosapien
Or a geological Neanderthal?
Neither this nor that but a man
With a soul and heart to feel.
I set out on a pilgrimage with Chaucer’s knight
And progress in Bunyah’s pilgrim band
Who am I? Am I a viewer
Of exquisite Immortal deeds of Madam Sosostris?
Or an observer of sunken Ganga?
No. Neither a philosopher nor a reformer
I am a gleaner of pearls
In the literary realms.
