Last Stand
I hear them call my name
yet I don't listen.
I hear my blood pumping faster and I know that
I have just begun reaching my full potential.
I've survived worse than this,
I've stood tall,
the weariness inside never showing.
My face an emotionless mask
I hear them call my name,
yet I don't listen
My head pounds as if sensing my distress.
I know for certain now that this is
my last stand.

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.
