    O Papa

    The childhood days were filled of him
    and everything seemed so perfect
    the dreams and reality would never clash
    and that she thought was certain
    she loved how his presence warmed the air
    and how his cologne swarmed the hallways
    But one day he stood in the doorway
    and smiled a sad sweet smile
    he kissed his little girl on the cheek
    never looking her in the eye all the while
    she giggled and kissed him back
    never knowing what was coming
    and as he turned and faded away
    all she could ask was 'Daddy, where are you going? '

    He left her standing alone
    forgotten, hurt, and confused
    the atmosphere became bleak and cold
    melting him away
    as days, then months, then years had passed
    even his picture seemed to fade within the frame
    then one day a stranger appeared at the door
    and smiled a sad sweet smile
    kissed the young woman on the cheek
    never looking her in the eye all the while
    she didn’t giggle or kiss him back
    she was astounded at the nerve of this man
    and found the only word she was able to utter
    to the stranger 'Where have you been? '

    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.
