Life, One Way or Another


(Adyar Bakery (?) Road, Madras, 1967)

between the caprice of birth
and the extinction by death
the inevitable living
in myriad kinds
of ignorance
consciousness
hunger
knowledge
want
enlightenment
darkness

But your text states all that succinctly.

i was thinking, did the culvert emerge to give them pause to decide life? this way or the other?
