Round Objects

Stolen into by vended guises
the marmalade jar swells and,
withdrawn, becomes a lark. There

in the field it skills with flowers
and a traffic painted like the sun
rolls towards our vise over clovers,

fourleaf, tripe. In Jamaica, was it?
a turbine full of oranges, land for
much ado. The jazz was simple, and

only in our heavy language furrows
of shank must its dart assume
pre-Adamic clarity. Let us

rest in the grasses, covered with scented 
bugs. Sand admires the perfect vamp
and lip, the tractor reels the sum.

– Frank O'Hara (1926-1966)
