    • To be set free, but locked away in my own cell of fear

    1 + 1 = ?

    Here i am sitting in the middle
    All eyes on me for the upcoming question
    Never before have i felt so little
    And under pressure i showed no discretion

    Now there's a minor situation
    How do i get the answer without looking dumb?
    Hyperventilating with this funny sensation
    My grip has my fingertips going numb

    1+1 is uhh....
    I know i'm making this difficult
    LOVE!...wait...huh?
    NO! now i know that's not the result

    It's in the corner of my mind
    It's on the tip of my tongue
    It's both variables combined
    It's like a puncture in my lung

    My lips linger in midair
    My mouth starts to dry
    This is anything but fair
    This moment needs to die

    1+1 = 2
    It takes two for this equation
    This right here should be me and you
    I'm sure theres no need for persuasion

    We have our solid solution mentally
    Someone say something and lets move on
    I dont want to believe i got this one coincidentally
    Lets skip the dark and go straight to dawn

    This bell needs to hurry and ring
    Finally a problem with no twist
    Yet i still dont know what else to this i could bring
    So can i be dismissed?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
