    Sitting and Listening
    You are sitting in your room and hear screaming and yelling
    You sit there listening
    Wondering
    'What are they fighting about now?'

    You sit there listening
    Scared of what might happen
    You now hear things braking
    Falling
    Crashing
    You are now on the verge of crying

    You call people to take your mind off this vicious fight
    They all say, 'Got to go'
    Or 'Can i call you back'
    You don't know what to do

    So you just sit there
    Listening
    Scared
    During this vicious fight

    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.
