from Sudden Snow
and the snow like Charles Olson working on one of his ABC
poems
is quietly and bitterly falling
is quietly and bitterly falling
but we don't know that yet, you drink more tea
your arm feels a little bit thinner
this morning two ladies from Jehovah's Witnesses came to call
on me in my dungarees, explaining their 3,750,000 copies
printed
in Cinyanja, Cishona, English, Ilocano, Tagalog and Twi,
Marathi, Pangasinan, Papiamento, Silozi, Xhosa,
Zulu and Finnish
so all day I think of the terrible limitations of poetic style "as we
know it"
till you take me to the movies which reach everywhere
and remind me that you understand me better than I understand
you
and I am happy
yes, it's time to go
– Frank O'Hara (1926-1966)
