    Poem Commentary

    Here's a poem I just made up very fast, 'cause my parents want me to walk the dog, so I didn't get much time to do anything with it. Like, you know, make it rhyme. So anyway, gotta go walk a dog. See ya'll later...

    Where did Time go

    Sometimes I keep it in my pocket,
    in my wallet,
    as a reminder
            a redeimer of sorts,
    it helps me focus on the future,
         Based on Facts
     but facts cannot come from what has not yet

    Sometimes I leave it in my jacket,
    after a long day of work,
    or rain,
    Sometimes I lose track of it when I'm thinking somewhere else,
    and then I panic and I search for it,
    Sometimes I leave it right in front of me,
           someplace so obvious that I can't see it right in front of me

    Sometimes I leave it in my car,
    where other people can see it,
     they cannot take it from me
        for it is mine
    But that does not mean I can't lose it

    Sometimes I drop it without noticing,
    and it rolls,
    into cracks or holes
    up and down a landscape
    in an out of memories

    Sometimes I leave it there on purpose
    Hoping to forget about it,
             but by thinking of it, it will haunt me
    Sometimes I mistakingly leave it in the fridge
    And then I find out after an hour and think
            'so that is where I left it'
                               right in front of me

    No matter where it goes, it is mine and does not leave me
    Sometimes I will leave it on my desk or set it down,
    but it is not lost forever, and I will always find it
    And no matter where I go and where it is left, it is there
    it is there and it is me
    Sometimes I keep it in my pocket

    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.
