Is there any known soul in famine?
by Partha Sarkar
Dirty philosophy
Holding a book
On a bright morning.
Swim if you can . .
.
Fabricated mensuration.
The fife for a fragile
bubble.
The precocious judges
play cards.
What is the time by
your watch?
I know there is no telegram
for the caterpillar
And know the dragon
has no coal for its fire.
Then who will be the
janitor for the day?
Look behind malnutrition.
Partha
