    Just Me

    I am so ordinary, just flesh and bone,

    a beating heart and soul unknown.

    I can dream and send my mind away

    into vast, unknown realms, or display

    an attitude that leaves me all alone.

     

    I can cry, laugh, just sit and moan,

    or write a book, or act half-grown.

    I can accept myself as just okay.

    I am so ordinary.

     

    I can run and jump, or be a mossy stone.

    Or be kinder than most men are prone.

    I can hate or wish a friend good day

    and think of something nice to say.

    Then this epithet on my headstone,

    I am so ordinary.

    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.
