Boondi Lexicon: The Lunatic in Town
I am the champion
Who narrates in public
All the nasty dreams
You see
During the night
But, do not disclose
I am the companion
Of dogs and crows
Who prowl about
And feed on
The left –overs of the city
I am the poet
Who views the rainbows
Painted in the sky
And count the lightnings
Flashing in the sky
I am the hermit
Who barges in to your midst
Throwing the empty hand about
In fun and frolic
When you tread
With heavy steps
And heavier heads
I am the lunatic
Who combs the city
With sleepless eyes
When you all are
Cuddle at home
In deep slumber
Impedes (1999) – By Ariyawansa Ranaweera
