    Wonder or Whole Wheat

    White bread, all soft and gooie,
    so good to eat
    I tear the crust from the edges
    and mold the center to what I want,
    what I think I need.

    My lover, aloof and handsome,
    so very pleasing to the eye
    I dig down deeper and find
    nothing
    nothing worth keeping

    Now, whole wheat, that's something else.
    Course, and slightly crunchy,
    it leaves a sweet aftertaste that nourishes
    the body.

    My soul knows the difference,
    why can't my mind catch up?
    I'm hungry for a good substantial bread....

    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.
