The ghost of Frank O'Hara—poem
Published in RATTLE back in Winter 2009.
The ghost of Frank O’Hara
The ghost of Frank O’Hara taps me
on
the shoulder whispering
and what about
the humor what about talks with
the sun
and things that happen at the
movies out
of sight of parents don’t forget
the thirst
of being in Manhattan in the heat
and Coke the drink
remember too your first
love passion music though it might
not come out
in words it’s there in you but I
was sad
and said what good is humor in a
poem
when people die Manhattan Fire
Island
we
bought falafels which we thought
weren’t bad
and walked to Central Park for
space and some
children were laughing and he said
ask them

Huaraches on Table Mountain
The feets in Luna Sandals, which actually, and finally, blew out, after a long life of marathons and GC trips. A good last trip for the old huaraches, up on Table Mountain, in the Columbia Gorge. Photo by Alex.
