untitled 1978
Discipline has long forgotten
these words and rhyme,
but with hard thought this
rotten verse could change,
in time.
Formulas for strong rendition
try to mask my lines,
but with hard head, less tradition,
these words can now be mine.
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.
