Raj Arumugam Poems

'Say Diogenes,
how is a Wise One
to be known?
Can you tell me
...

Diogenes has traded
philosophy for riches
and poor Diogenes must beg -
for neither does he want to belong
...

Susan visits May
and May gasps,
looking out the window:
...

You know women
they go shopping
and they fill the whole trolley
overflowing
...

by all accounts
it was a big hit;
the children laughed
as the adults observed
...

And Diogenes is an outcast
not wanted by society;
his mind is way too far
and he doesn't belong -
...

I ask you
Most Intelligent Reader,
expecting an answer:
What do a rabbit
...

Yeah, the boss called me in
he sat there drumming on the table edge
with his fingers
and then asked me how long
...

there are flowers and birds
and the observer
the one who passes by and stops to see
to observe
...

I have seen it, O world,
I have seen it as one sees the clouds
or as one feels water naked in the cool lake
at the break of dawn
...
