Check Yourself

I’m prone to postpone
Things that don’t sit right.
Not all is out of mind,
Out of sight.

So check you alibi,
You lost it somewhere 
between all those lies.
One bad event can change
our lives.
Change your dreams,
Take you back to yesterday,
Nothing is ever as it seems.

The myths save you from 
The deep end,
Reinvent yourself for a 
Satisfied weekend.

Trouble follows with now past portal.
Past behaviors bother you,
Your lucky you didn't get that 
Police escort to a new dreary,
Grey colored resort.

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.
