    The poet reads a poem to an audience. As he reads, he observes the audience's reactions on their faces. At one point, some audience members wrinkle their noses or get up and leave. The poet questions why this is happening internally, and the poet within him responds that it is a natural reaction, as the poem stirs emotions that have been settled or pent up within the audience.

    POETRY READING All that's happening is

    the dynamite fuses, nearly burnt out,


    DAMODAR MORE are trying to falre up again."
    As I was reading out a poem As I was reading out a poem
    the audience was listening as I read the audience was listening as I read
    And as the audience was listening to me And as the audience was listening to me
    I was reading the faces of the audience. I was reading the faces of the audience
    As I continued to read… As I continued to read…
    There came a moment – who knows why – There came a moment when
    when a couple of them wrinkled their noses I saw a dazzling brilliance in their eyes
    And astonished, I said to the poet in me And, curious, I said to the poet in me,
    "What's the reason for this?" "Why is this happening?"
    And he answered me, And he answered me,
    "It was to be expected… "It's inevitable.
    All that's happened is All tha's happening is
    the settled sludge has been stirred they're marching in battle
    and the water's grown cloudy." on this fearful darkness."
    As I was reading out a poem As I was reading out a poem
    the audience was listening as I read the audience was listening as I read
    And as the audience was listening to me And as the audience was listening to me
    I was reading the faces of the audience I was reading the faces of the audience
    As I continued to read…
    There came a moment when
    a couple got up and left
    But the eyelids of the others
    seemed ready to shed rain
    And, distressed, I said to the poet in me,
    "Why is this happening?"
    And he answered me,
    "It's only natural
    All that's happened is
    the moisture pent up till today
    is looking to break out."

    the audience was listening as I read
    And as the audience was listening to me
    I wa reading the faces of the audience

    As I continued to read…
    There came a moment when
    I saw embers flaring in the pupils of their eyes
    And, frightened, I said to the poet in me,
    "What's this that's happening?"
    And he answered me,
    "It was this I was waiting for
