District Line towards Upminster

Animals

Have you forgotten what we were like then
when we were still first rate
and then the day came fat with an apple in its mouth

it’s no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners

the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn’t need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water

I wouldn’t want to be faster
or greener than now if you were with me O you
were the best of all my days


Frank O’hara




Tinha este poema, mas nao completamente. Li-o sem decorar. Tornou-se bastante dificil reencontra-lo. Sera que alguma vez o vou ler como o li da primeira vez?
