Frank O'Hara:

Today


Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas!
You are really beautiful! Pearls,
harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins! All
the stuff they've always talked about


still makes a poem a surprise!
These things are with us every day
even on beachheads and biers. They
do have a meaning. They're strong as rocks.




[perfect!]
