Having a Coke with You - Frank O'Hara - USA

is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary it is hard to believe when I’m with you that there can be anything as still as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it in the warm New York 4 o’clock light we are drifting back and forth between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles

and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them                                                                                                               I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it’s in the Frick which thank heavens you haven’t gone to yet so we can go together for the first time and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn’t pick the rider as carefully as the horse                                it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I’m telling you about it

having you with a coke - jude francis

[text description:

(in italics) having you with a coke

i sip coke while reciting

having a coke with you

and think about

what i might be doing instead,

were i with you.

often, i think of this.

i picture you and me in a kitchen with yellow-painted walls.

in my imagination, we dance

to old love songs. we sing along

and there isn't half a tune

between us, but there is

so much love that it spills

out of the windows, and

floods the street.

i start the poem again,

though i have finished

my drink. the life that i have

constructed continues

to spin with us

on the kitchen tiles.

one day we will dance, and

i will recite o'hara to you

with your head on my chest.

i start the poem again. /end description]

absolute highlight of my night last night was looking up the publication date of Frank O’Hara’s Having a Coke with You and encountering a blurb from an online encyclopedia that described it as being written for a woman he dated.

like…bestie… Frank O’Hara??? you sure about that????

#I understand if a random person doesn’t know enough about him to know that’s wrong #but an ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA??? #girl you mustn’t say that #even leaving aside that he was well known to be gay #basically the first thing he does is compare the subject of the poem to SAINT SEBASTIAN #WATER YOU DOING??? #anyway niche post of the day #poetry #frank o’hara #having a coke with you
