Thursday with Frank O'Hara

"I am lonely for myself
I can't find a real poem

if it won't happen to me
what shall I do"

F.O. from "At Joan's"

"and when yesterday arrives and troubles us you always say NO
I don't believe you at first but you say no no no no
and pretty soon I am smiling and doing just what I want
again"

F.O. from "Biotherm"

"I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the traffic
was acting exactly like the sky"

F.O. from "Poem (Lana Turner has collapsed)"
