People

They come and go

People in the rain

People in the snow

They are always there

Staring and waiting

Waiting for you to say something

Waiting for something profound

 

I met a person once

And they were nice

And I felt warm and sweet and calm

 

I met a person today

And they were nice

But I felt like ice

So cold and closed and beating

Heart beating

Beating in my ears

And it just won’t stop

 

And now I see those looks

I own them they’re mine

Looks of stone, disquiet

 

And I feel sick with woe

And old

 

What is the matter with me?

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.
