    Bookends

    Stacked side by side

    Crooked lines

    One farther in

    One closer out


    Paper, cloth and binding glued

    They stand jumbled , a bit confused

    Tall ones mixed with

    Stouts and shorts

    Pages hidden to the back


    Alphabetized yeah forget that

    One on the floor

    5 halfway off

    I wish we’d get rid of

    That damned cat !


    I’d read a book if I could find one

    One that peeks my interest

    One that isn’t 8 books down

    Sideways underneath a dictionary

    It’s simple it may seem

    To put them straight and neat

    Bookends would make them stay

    Yes bookends would be nice

    Too bad I have none

    Hmmm…bookends.

    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.
