    “The thing to remember about fathers is, they’re men.
    A girl has to keep it in mind:
    They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues.
    Scratch any father, you find
    Someone chock-full of qualms and romantic terrors,
    Believing change is a threat—
    Like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle
    It took such months to get.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    “Later
    Some movement is reversed and the urgent masks
    Speed toward a totally unexpected end
    Like clocks out of control.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
