    The Challenge

    A pink typewriter,
    A blind burrito,
    And twelve violent starfish

    Lived with a blighter
    Who’s heart was hollow
    And sang of nights in anguish.

    His typewriter, broke
    His burrito, gone
    His starfish, fighting less.

    He never awoke
    His life forgone
    And no one knew his address.

    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.
