Was Dom Moraes? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Was Dom
A poet
Or a lover
Or a smoker?

Smoking cigarettes,
Cigarette after cigarette
To be a poet.

If he, let him,
As poetry will come to him
With the butt held in between.

But he should not keep deserting
One girl after another,
Marrying and divorcing.

Not only a poet,
But a drinker too he was,
Emptying glass after glass.

Not at all an English poet,
But an Indian Goan Christian
Thinking himself one from London.
