    Life

    I choked down tap water while they drank gasoline

    Veterans cough up change to feed the machine

    Spinning tires cut the tar a deeper shade of black

    While the eye of the needle watches the straw break the camel’s back

    We danced to the beat of a shotguns blast

    We shook up the odds till the die was cast

    Sing the anthem of plague till the alcoholic swallowed his disease

    Because when life is a hurricane love is a breeze

    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.
