Walking to Work

It's going to be the sunny side
from now
             on. Get out, all of you.

This is my traffic over the night
and how
             should I range my pride

each oceanic morning    like a cutter
if I
    confuse the dark world is round
round who
              in my eyes at morning saves

nothing from nobody? I'm becoming
the street.
                Who are you in love with?
me?
     Straight against the light I cross.

– Frank O'Hara (1926-1966)
