    Memorial Day what does it really mean

    Most Things

    I understand most things and seem to know a lot about
    nothing
    I understand why you don't see me standing there in the dark unless a
    light blub goes on over my head
    Then you interfer with what I am thinking to tell me some non-sense that
    am sure to remember at the most inapporated time
    It's like that time I was trying to recall where I last laid my purse
    and you ask me something about stars and stripes on the American Flag
    clearly it had nothing to do with the where abouts of my purse
    because the flag does not represent me but since you wanted to know I stop looking for purse because there was nothing of important in that was needed now the flag am sure it means something like this
    White ;courage or the clan that burn down my big momas house and hung my granddaddy Red;British or Hardiness but all I see is the blood of all those young men that have gone into war and die for this country Blue;Justice for some hell and jail for those of us below the law The stars surrounded in blue the constellation or a cry out to the heavens to ask that we all be forgiven for what we do to each other now can you please help me find my purse
    I need to go and place a reef on the tomb of unknown soldiers am sure we know someone there and besides it has been awhile since Danny has wrote us
    I understand most things and seem to know a lot about nothing but this war has kill more then a few of us over there and here too

    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.
