    morning
    as i awake and rub my eyes 
    i think of you
    that’s no surprise 
    i yawn and think of a Texas sun
    painting through a purple dawn
    i’ll bet you’re on your way
    to fly again
    to someplace
    that you’ve never been
    you have this time to be alone
    to have some thoughts
    that are your own
    you coffee cup is running low
    the airport’s here
    it’s time to go
    to park the car
    to check yourself 
    your cell phone sings
    your wake up call
    time to get in the ring
    i left that scene
    a long time ago 
    my life is so much different now
    my time is my own
    my soul is free 
    i don’t think too much
    about where i am
    or where i should be
    you always said 'what you see is what you get'
    what i saw i can’t forget
    what i got
    i’m not over yet 
    with your see-through honesty
    i’m scared i'll find
    a no-vacancy sign
    in your eyes
    sometimes i wish for one more night
    one more dance across some floor
    to hear you say ‘That was nice.’
    just one time more

    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.
