I Love You F.O.H
I love you, Frank O'Hara, poet of
the New York School, curator of abstract art,
how did you find so much to be passionate about?
I love your poem about why you aren't a painter --
so you could write a poem about oranges
and leave them out.
And Mayakovsky, Stalin's pet.
Because of you I read his poem
about the cloud in trousers,
the choir in his heart.
I love your poem to your lover,
"Having a Coke With You," how that's better
than Biarritz or anything in the world.
To have a Coke with you in Biarritz
would be superb, except it wouldn't
have to be a Coke, or Biarritz, or you.
I just mean that feeling of love.
