Does America owe anything to
William Carlos Williams?
I,
M.S.P.Murugesan alias Vaiyavan,
Also known as Murugesan Paramasivam,
Assigned here to remind if
America owes anything to
William Carlos Williams.
No comments please.
We,
Me and the patrons of International Poetry,
And you the Ladies and
Gentlemen of the Jury
Assembled here got bound
Under one condition;
That is only
To operate under
Zero Comments.
You,
Respected Ladies
And Gentlemen of the Jury,
Still in India
We chersih a yoga,
(Sorry, I don't mean the
much commercialized venture,
sold and bought so extensively}
Practising labour
Unminding wages
I remind you
The honourable ones
It's what Mr.William did
In his labour rooms
Of Rutherford hospital
Bringing out
2000 babies in the short
Time span of 42 years.
As did he sought to
Deliver the American Idiom
From the wombs of ideas
To the material beds
Of maternity wards.
To quote
What Marianne Moore wrote,
His poems were
'as plain American which cats and dogs can read.'
I beg to conclude
That Mr.Williams examined the role of the poet
In American society
By the way in human society
As Dr.Williams did in his hospital society.
And you are the ones now,
To offer the verdict
Whether America still owes
Anything to Mr.Williams
as per our norms of Karma Yoga
Or not.
