Nissim Ezekiel Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

A Maharashtrian Bene-Israeli,
I mean an Indian Jew,
Describing India as an alien insider
Though living in here
Just as the minorities.

A poet of Bombay and its cityspace,
The metropolitan not, the mega city,
Its urban thought, culture and life,
He is a good boy
Of the goodbye party, the mrriage party, the tea party,
Writing about the honeymoon,
Handshake, ta-ta, bye-bye, thank you,
Indian poverty and platforms.
