    Where he lays to rest

    There was a cowboy that don’t drink
    That cowboy doesn’t talk much
    Keeps to himself
    Goes out of his way to be left alone
    Sits at an empty table
    Keeps it that way
    No one really knows his story
    But they say there was another
    They say he use to be the biggest hit in the club
    Could out drink half the bar
    By far the greatest dancer in the building
    In his day
    Use to be happy
    Use to go out of his way to talk to everyone
    Dam near everyone was his friend
    So they say back in the day
    Where he’s from, that was his way
    Now half a continent away
    He stays somewhere deep deep inside
    A single time he slipped and said her name
    Lost and quiet he disappeared to the floor
    To her memory
    What did she do to him
    Where does he go to meet her
    When he grace’s the floor with his steps
    I hope he finds whatever it is he’s looking for when he’s on that floor

    I enjoyed reading this poem.

    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.
