    The Truth of Things
    If I could become all I desired,
    the world would resonate with my songs.
    I would dance the samba
    and play the violin
    while flirting in a dozen languages
    at my stage debut...
    but the world is not mine
    for the taking.
    I can only claim my little piece
    and expand outward slowly...
    so as not to arouse contempt.

    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.
