    For Ulla
    An old and tired knowingness
    Looking back
    At lifetimes of growing
    Trying to allow for the frustrations
    Of the child within

    A need to pretend that I am not
    The assurance that I will always be
    Loneliness
    A desire to understand
    Like a mother seeking guidance from her fetus
    Not wanting to accept that she already knows

    Accepting me
    The child
    The mother and the fetus
    Knowing
    That I must go on growing
    Forever

    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.
