The Artist

What a beautiful piece of art.

The form,
the color,
the mood!

What a beautiful piece of art.

The design,
the proportion,
the technique.

What a beautiful piece of art.

It is worth
millions, no
billions.

What a beautiful piece of art.

Who is the man I am to thank
for this?
Who is the woman whose hand
I must shake?
Who is the child I must pat
on the back?

Who, you say?
Me, you say?
No, I say.

For how could a man
as imperfect and unremarkable
as I
create a magnificent piece of art
like that?

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.
