    insanity

    When I'm dreaming I only see glimpse
    light fails to catch the shadows
    of me as I have fallen
    then taken in by the flames
    and tossed aside by the embers
    I seem to stoke their fury
    thus returning me to my damnation
    while bitter cold takes what remains
    and, if my eyes were open
    and I could not tell the difference
    would this be any kind of existence
    if dreams can awake and shake you
    and life tends to dictate your sleep
    would it fray the threads
    that hold the truth
    and keeps my worlds from colliding
    and, if I knew the answer
    would it only add to my confusion
    take away what has been given
    leaving me with my on delusions.

    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.
