Raj Dronamraju Poems

  • It Won't Take Long
    She is the queen of the replacements Her people await further orders in a large open-air building A former factory - old and gray and damp, it looks like the 1950's
  • I Don't Even Smile
    I shook your hand I took the loss Escape was impossible I took the loss
  • I'll Marry The Nurse
    The hand of friendship was offered The hand of friendship was slapped away The trajectory of the spurned
  • Transparent Life
    We are the goldfish in the bowl We are known as Mr. and Mrs. Goldfish I don't mind this transparency, a benign surveillance
  • Saturday Morning Radio
    Have you ever heard Saturday morning radio? Is the radio programming different on Saturday morning compared to weekdays? She dreads small talk and making his lunch
  • The Limits
    If obnoxiousness is art consider this your exhibition gallery Different stages of difficult behavior hang on the walls "Don't touch" but some illiterate fool usually ends up doing just that
  • The Last Sears And Roebuck
    The racks are not filled immediately and some now remain permanently empty in the last Sears and Roebuck The terminally ill patient is given less and less medication The remaining three or four employees do the work of the original nine or ten
  • The Card The Deaf Man Gave Me
    The deaf man walked around the food court with grim and officious self-confidence He carried a large drawstring bag of items over one shoulder He bothered those eating lunch by passing out a card
  • Love Sighted But Not Verified -new-
    Love sighted through an opening in deep forest A blur that moves quickly and vanishes But leaves a lasting impression
  • The Controlled Poet's Experience
    I shout in my puppet voice Volume subtracts meaning, it's just noise The control they have over me and everyone else Is so ingrained, so part of everything, it cannot be removed
  • Joan Of Ark Killed By Drones
    Joan of Arc was known Most importantly, Joan of Arc was known They knew her from hand to hand combat They knew her as a legend as much as a person
  • The Business Of Living
    Death diversified his portfolio While maintaining a zero degree of risk Death rented an office in a high rise building Where he could look down on the temporary creations
  • The Lookalikes
    Make a wall of that which you do not know Bookend this with Mother Nature anti-logic I have been seen with a girl who looks likes like me Talks like me, walks like me, has many of the same mannerisms
  • Til Death Do Us Part
    Observing the death throes of the swan cliché Under the heavy culture of monogamy Pick up a stone and put a stone in your pocket To hurl later at designated frustration goats

Evening Interruptus

Voices raised in the street outside my house
An argument, more than an argument

And what brought them to strife
And what made them so angry as to forget themselves in a public situation

The intense anger of the personal
