    Are You In The Mirror?
    Is it you I am?
    Looking into the mirror
    I interogate the suspect.
    Isee - myself.
    "You think you know me?"
    "That you own who I am?"
    How rediculous the thought

    In the mirror
    I turn away from myself.
    Bu then, I whirl around &
    Remind myself
    That I can change,
    "I can; I swear I can!"
    "I can
    Re-create what I appear to be."

    But looking into the
    Imposter's eyes
    I run that image through
    The recorded memories I own &
    I find him a fraud.
    He shakes in fear
    Of being found out

    Then he shaves, combs his hair
    Puts on another mask
    And disapears into himself; then
    Turns out the light
    And leaves the room.
    END

    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.
