    My Day

     You ask "How are you?"
    And I wonder
    if I were to answer truthfully
    and say
    that it has been an ugly day--
    Would you be uncomfortable
    in learning the truth?
    of how
    very ugly it is
    inside today?
    And then I would wonder
    at the question in your glance
    for we both know that the
    sun is shining.
    Truthfully,
    you now wish you never asked.
    And I wonder no more
    and answer
    "I am well, thank you".

    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.
