• Some men like Jack and some like Jill
  I'm glad I like them both but still
  I wonder if this freewheeling
  Really is an enlightened thing,
  Or is its greater scope a sign
  Of deviance from some party line?
  In the strict ranks of Gay and Straight
  What is my status: Stray? Or Great?
  
  • Dubious from 'Mappings' (Writers Workshop, Calcutta, 1980)
  • Repeated by Seth in online interview.

• Imagining the flower-pot attacked it
  The kitten flung the violets near and far
  And yet, who knows? This morning, as I backed it,
  My car was set upon by a parked car.
  
  • Malefic Things from All You Who Sleep Tonight (Viking/Penguin India, 1990).
