I wonder what will happen.
The importance of being notebook.
I holler at the writings of Tim Dlugos.
There is a canyon between it and me.
Or at least a Great Divide.
(I drop a shoe down into the divide
as I down two aspirin
plus “cold crunchers” from the office medicine cabinet,
so gung-ho about the break-up, etc.)
After dealing all day with it’s now cold,
the aspiration and the perspiration
simply do not add up.
ducking poling bumping sinking and swimming
and we arrive at the beach
—Frank O’Hara
