I

I

Dead or alive.

I want to catch this 'I'
Dead or alive.

Already have I set out
On the mission impossible
And met many a one on the the way
Feigning to be 'I'.
The rascal and the ravished,
The sadist and the masochist,
The philanderer and the philosopher,
The hunter and the quarry,
The haunted and the haunter,
The molested and the molested,
The husband and the wife,
The sword, fire, the waters of the Styx
And the fragrance of the kalpavriksha 
The cock and the bull,'
The drunkard and the drink,
I can go on, on, and on . . .
I, I, I ...

In search of I
I met a multitude;
Each one an 'I',
Never the 'I'.

Where am 'I', and am this ruddy 'I'?
Cry!
