A Common Citizen Outlines History Poem by Ananta Madhavan

A Common Citizen Outlines History



In a thought or two I live
All of history,
All styles coalesce in me,
All rebellions, all tyrannies,
All bits and fragments of the shattered world
Are reconciled in my ordinariness.
This is my lawless disorder.
