Guest Poet - Frank O'Hara

SONG by Frank O'Hara

 I am stuck in traffic in a taxicab
 which is typical
 and not just of modern life

 mud clambers up the trellis of my nerves
 must lovers of Eros end up with Venus
 muss es sein? es muss nicht sein, I tell you

 how I hate disease, it's like worrying
 that comes true
 and it simply must not be able to happen

 in a world where you are possible
 my love
 nothing can go wrong for us, tell me

(1960)
