“I… What are you saying, Zsadist?" she stammered, even though she'd heard every word.

He glanced back down at the pencil in his hand and then turned to the table. Flipping the spiral notebook to a new page, he bent way over and labored on top of the paper for quite a while. Then he ripped the sheet free.

“Hundreds of words await ostracism from our functional vocabularies: waltz and fizz and squeeze and booze and frozen pizza pie, frizzy and fuzzy and dizzy and duzzy, the visualization of emphyzeema-zapped Tarzans, wheezing and sneezing, holding glazed and anodized bazookas, seized by all the bizarrities of this zany zone we call home.

“The Naskar Terrain (Sonnet 2962)

If you refuse to call me a scientist,
because I place science at the feet
of the humans, not above their head -

if you refuse to call me a philosopher,
because I count philosophy second to life,
not the center of life -

if you refuse to call me a theologian,
because I place divinity inside the humans,
not outside and above them -

if you refuse to call me a poet because
I refuse to obey white man's fancy full-stomach
rhyme and meter, then be it, my child -

the vast terrains of the himalayas are
carpeted with corpses that failed to make it,
yet the Himalayas stand, indifferent
and undented by the yelp reviews of apes.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth
