Writing and procrastinating by listening to Frank O'Hara reading "Having a Coke with You." Over and over. And thinking if I were to excerpt it here, I would choose this line
partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt
or
I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world
or
and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism
or maybe
it seems they were all cheated of some marvellous experience which is not going to go wasted on me

I came to your blog as I was also writing/procrastinating and now I will do so more--thanks (I think).
For all my love of Frank O'Hara, I've never seen/heard him read one of his own--wow!
He's so cool.
RQD is an artist refuge.
This is another perfect Sunday morning.
The first sixty states of one painting in sixty seconds.

god, the way he says "statuary". kills me.
Yes. And it kills me when he looks at the camera when he says like a tree breathing through its spectacles, like oh, yes, that's what I wrote.
this is a very good poem.
