Through the Looking Glass
Into the looking glass
I look,
Through the looking glass
a stranger stares back at me.
Not knowing the girl
living in the glass,
this Woman that I have become.
Peering at myself,
trying to recognize some attribute
that would mark this stranger as me.
Seeing nothing familar
Through the looking glass.
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.
