    Pathways

    Now as I’m lying here on this sacrificial altar
    Preparing for this occult, sacrilegious, witch doctor
    To dissect me and observe the Almighty’s creation
    My life flashes before my eyes, repeating like an incantation
    Before the present moment I hadn’t noticed, I hadn’t been focused
    On my life’s precocious, stoic solstice before this
    I never supposed that I was fated to be there
    My destiny made way and its influence is unequivocally clear
    Every occurrence, event, and moment flowed like saliva
    Putting me into this circumstance as immovable as a mired quagmire
    The desire of the Lord, like pathways to the future
    Is to have His unusual will stitched in time with a suture
    Yet, His is set like the sun at dusk--
    The blasphemous autopsy is over, another one bites the dust

    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.
