    The Witness

    Dear me how long It has been that

    U stood the test of time and stood by me

    U were silent and without a word

    Now and then a shrunken brow that’s all your expression

    And now and then your sympathetic sigh

    That’s all u did and that’s all u gave me

    A symmetric company

    Lord you know how you loved me and gave me this precious angle of the world

    A world who witnessed me with silence and expressed it in even quiet actions

    Lord what could be the wonder other than this human capability to perceive and feel each other

    I know when I made love and when I made war for this is a witness

    Thanks Charlie

    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.
