Question

My father travels on the late evening train
Standing among silent commuters in the yellow light
Suburbs slide past his unseeing eyes
His shirt and pants are soggy and his black raincoat
Stained with mud and his bag stuffed with books
Is falling apart. His eyes dimmed by age
fade homeward through the humid monsoon night
Now I can see him getting off the train
Like a word dropped from a long sentence.
He hurries across the length of the grey platform,
Crosses the railway line, enters the lane,
His chappals are sticky with mud, but he hurries onward

Answer 2

c) Message of the Poem.

It is an autobiography poem in which the poet depicts an image of his own father arriving home from work to convey the isolation and world-weariness of an elderly man in modern society. Chitre's poetry, which is mostly associated with the Modernist Movement, deals with exile, alienation, self-disintegration, and death as primary topics. It combines oblique language and sardonic tones to depict cosmopolitan culture and metropolitan sensibilities.
