 There was nothing like stink; in the dictionary of the rose; blossoming in the mesmerizing ambience of the valley, 

 
There was nothing like cowardice in the dictionary of the lion; roaring its way thunderously through the dense outgrowths of the jungle, 
 
There was nothing like adulteration in the dictionary of the gushing stream; cascading down the pristine slopes of the gorgeous mountain, 
 
There was nothing like pessimism in the dictionary of the Sun; inundating every spot of earth with blistering rays and dazzling shine, 
 
There was nothing like stain in the dictionary of the eraser; as it ruthlessly annihilated every blemish that it came across and caressed, 
 
There was nothing like color in the dictionary of milk; as it oozed out impeccably white from the teats of the mother, 
 
There was nothing like laziness in the dictionary of the clock; as it ticked diligently; without gasping the slightest for breath all round the clock, 
 
There was nothing like dryness in the dictionary of the clouds; as they showered unrelentingly; flooding scorching mass of sand with heavenly water, 
 
There was nothing like pandemonium in the dictionary of the valley; as it reverberated its echoes sonorous and clear; piercing every nook and cranny of the
atmosphere, 
 
There was nothing like sleep in the dictionary of the owl; as it incorrigibly kept awake all night; without batting its eyelids the slightest, 
 
There was nothing like straightness in the dictionary of a dog; as it inevitably kept curling its tail; as hard as you might try and compress it, 
 
There was nothing like euphoria in the dictionary of a yawn; as it was a perennial indication of a person to blissfully close his eyes; snore and sleep, 
 
There was nothing like freezing in the dictionary of the fire; which leapt in handsome flames to try and sizzle the cosmos, 
 
There was nothing like weakness in the dictionary of the boxer; whose swollen fists; craved inexorably to drill a hole through the wall, 
There was nothing like bragging in the heart of a humanitarian; whose sole purpose in life was to uplift the downtrodden society, 
 
There was nothing like empathy in the tears of the corrupt politician; who simply cried to gain votes and sympathy of the masses, 
 
There was nothing like manipulation in the dictionary of the mother; as every word she uttered was in the benefit of her child, 
 
There was nothing like devil in the dictionary of the temple; where sacrosanct bells kept ringing the essence of existence till eternity, 
 
There was nothing like death in the dictionary of God; as he was immortal; guiding the destiny of all from the skies, 
 
And there was nothing like office in the dictionary of my mind; as I was overwhelmingly busy in composing poetry; engrossed in poetic fantasy and entirely
oblivious to the vagaries of this mercenary world.

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
