    Your Beast of Burden

    Please, do it,
    I long for your lead fist
    Of anger to rain down on me;
    Rip me in two and re-assemble me
    With your cheap scotch tape.
    I am your papier-mâchéd fool.

    Blame it on me,
    Tell me I did it all,
    I tore my own head off and
    Served it to you on a gold inlaid platter.
    You took it with your savage,
    Unmannered hands and bit down
    Tearing at the flesh only to
    Spit it out and say
    It tastes bad.

    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.
