Frank O'Hara: "Let's Take a Walk"


"Let's take a walk, you
and I in spite of the
weather if it rains hard
                    on our toes

we'll stroll like poodles
and be washed down a
gigantic scenic gutter
                    that will be

exciting! voyages are not
all like this you just put
your toes together then
                    maybe blood

will get meaning and a trick
become slight in our keeping
before we sail the open sea it's
                    possible--

And the landscape will do
us some strange favour when
we look back at each other
                    anxiously
