    Poem Commentary

    everywhere i go, people are in love.  they show it in their faces when they try not to.  that held back feeling is in songs..on tv..in chick flicks..and on my sisters face now that shes engaged.  and when i see this i wonder if it can happen to me and i look at the one i think of...but know it will not happen for me.  because he will never see me that way.

    but u should interpret it as u please!

    The Air is Not Enough

     The twinkles in their eyes
    blur the definition
    they become shiny glass
    so breakable but so beautiful

    Their faces so soften
    mouths quivering
    between a gut-wrenching smile
    and a sob

    There is so much
    the hands cannot hold it
    the heart cannot bare it
    The air is not enough

    Nothing can hide
    all is betrayed in the rasp of their voices
    the delicacy of their faces
    the gentlly, slightly controled fire in their skin

    They show me what it looks like
    They show me what it could be like
    How easy it is for them..
    For as I courageously allow my glassy gaze to find Him

    He does not see me.

    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.
