self portrait said nervous crisis
as i slam my eyes shut
while already sitting in the dark 

with even thicker thoughts
i rub my hands and bump fists
with my demon dreams

screaming never felt so loud 
but silent as i stretch my mouth     
              south
straight down to the bottom
of this burning belly

the smoke disguises the rain
but never removes the pain
in my late show of unfun

i only meant to make you smile
but, not quite like mine

I like . ! - Dark, yet playful, and a bit whimsical - Much Peace

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.
