    EMPTY POCKETS

     Pockets
    that were filled
    with empty promises
    consisting of words like
    I will.
    Forever.
    I do.
    Eternally.
    With all my heart.

    Pockets
    that bulged
    with promises
    of love and devotion.
    Loyalty.
    Trust.
    Dedication and commitment.

    Pockets
    so full of holes
    all the promises
    fell out.

    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.
