    Mechanical

    As you force these
    bullets down my throat,
    despite my pleas,
    the cold metal coat
    melts and adheres
    to my stomach walls:
    an iron tomb for fears,
    doubts, and all that appalls
    from you, all those marred
    and mean tendencies
    which serve to make me hard
    and tuned to harsher frequencies.

    compact and methodical... the message is loud and clear.

    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.
