Totally Mine

Tarun Achanta 1994 (Telengana)



I want something that’s totally mine.
Not the bits and pieces of reality,
Not the bits and pieces of influences,
Not the bits and pieces of illusions,
Not the bits and pieces of fantasies,
Not the bits and pieces of imaginations,
I want something free of reality, influences, illusions, fantasies and imaginations
that’s totally mine.
I want a caveman of me totally mine
Who is free of consciences wandering the vast lands to be discovered,
To be understood before the steam engine,
Before the gun powder,
Before the boats,
Before the metals,
Before the wheels,
Before the societies,
And before the gods.
I want a caveman of me that’s totally mine.
