A.K.Ramanujan Is The Ashtavakra Of Indian English Poetry Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

A.K.Ramanujan is but the Ashtavakra
Of Indian English poetry
Whether you accept it or not,
The master of oblique approach,
Irony, doublespeak,
Humour and satire,
Joke and jibe,
Pin and perforation,
Taunt and jaunt

And his poetry as Ashtavkra Gita
Recreating,
Recreating and remixing
With wisdom and caricature,
Experience and irony an doublespeak,
Feeling and emotion,
Humour and satire,
Wisdom and learning
And lessons of life learnt
As did Ashtavakra instead of his deformity
And bends in body.
