Sonnet 2500 – Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets from The Mountaintop (First Drop)

You’re right, I am not a poet,
I have not written hundreds of poems;
you’re right, I am not a writer,
I have not written a couple of books.

I’m sorry, I am not a poet,
I have not written hundreds of sonnets,
I have written thousands –
I have not written a handful of books,
I have erected a library.

You do not have the scales
in your two-dimensional intellect
to measure the multidimensional
Ecosystem of Expansion –

larger than tribe,
larger than time,
I am Detonation of The First
Multicultural Civilization.
