Canvas
it will flow with desire
it will need to be done
your life will depend on it
and yet
the canvas will remain
blank
there’s all the time in the world to fill it
that’s what you tell yourself

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.
