    This Mountain
    Did I choose
    this mountain
    before me or
    did this mountain
    choose me?

    Why must I climb
    this obstacle
    before me? Or,
    will this obstacle
    climb me?

    May I choose
    another way?
    May this obstacle
    choose another day?

    If I choose not
    this mountain
    before me
    will this mountain
    not choose me?

    Face to face
    brow to brow
    steppe to step
    I must climb
    or be climbed.

    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.
