    Poem Commentary

    This poem was written just after my mother passed on.  I just wanted the world to stop for a minute and grieve with me... but no!

    Surreal

    Surreal

     

    Like being a character

    in a painting by Salvador Dali...

    I have been walking around in a daze.

     

    Everything seems O...

    so surreal!

     

    A fog of sorts...

    like a dream....

    I can't put my hand on

    quite how it seems.

     

    Melting time pieces

    draped over large

    wooden benches....?

     

    Perhaps.

     

    But everything around me

    seems to be the same...

    what I have come to know as normal.

     

    My World came to a

    sudden stop a week ago today

    and yet....

    people still go on...

    the world still rotates...

    Sun still shines

    and the moon still rises.

     

    But yet, it seems so surreal.

    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.
