Bijay Kant Dubey Poems

H.S.Bhatia, born in 1936 and a lecturer in English
At A.S.College, Khanna, Punjab
Is a poet of his type,
Trying his hands
...

My Bengali wife most critical wife,
India-famous as selfish better half,
So narrow, small and petty,
Hollow and shallow from her within
...

A failed lover of a middle class Bengali girl
Hypocritical and egoistic,
Poking the fire into a blaze,
Speaking sweetly
...

Why are they speeding,
Going in full speed,
Stopping not
On the highway
...

I just think of the lives pulsating in the flats,
Sky-kissing, tall and square,
Living in skyscrapers
With the lifts to go up and come down,
...

Vishwakarma,
The Divine Master Artisan and the Craftsman,
The Draughtsman and the Architect
Be our guiding spirit,
...

This is my bungalow, this is my dream car,
This is my suit, boot and neck-tie,
This the talk of the man
Of today
...

Contemporary Indian English poetry is a bluff,
Not a new bluff,
But an old one,
When did the writers bluff it not?
...

How do they manoeuvre and manipulate it
To be Indian English poets and poetesses,
I mean the literati and the intelligentsia,
The bogus-bogus academics?
...

How helpless appears it to be life
In jams,
Traffic jams,
Gasping for air,
...
