Having a coke with you

Having a Coke with You

is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian
partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt
partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches
partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary
it is hard to believe when I'm with you that there can be anything as still
as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it
in the warm New York 4 o'clock light we are drifting back and forth
between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles

and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint
you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them

I look
at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world
except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it's in the Frick
which thank heavens you haven't gone to yet so we can go together the first time
and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism
just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or
at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me
and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them
when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank
or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn't pick the rider as carefully
as the horse

it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience
which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it

and having a cup of coffee with you is
even better than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne

or on the avenue of Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona The above is more interesting
partly because you wear this yellow top to make you look more beautiful than San Sebastian

partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love of yogurt
partly because of the surrounding birch trees.

Part of the reason for the fluorescent and orange tulips is that our mysterious smile is in people and statues.
It’s hard to imagine what will still happen when I’m with you.
As a solemn and unpleasant legal right, it’s finally in front

of it. In the warm sunshine of 4pm in New York, we were drifting back and forth between each other
like a tree, exhaling through its landscape. The

portrait exhibition does not seem to have a face, only paint.
You suddenly wonder why anyone in the world would do this.

I look at you, as long as I look at you, I don’t want to see all the portraits in the world
Except for occasional interest in Polish riders, anyway, it’s at Frick,

thank you for not going to heaven, so we can go together for the first time
and the fact that you are so beautiful makes more or less I don’t have to worry too much about the future

like being at home I never thought that Nude Descending a Staircase or
the single drawing of Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo in the rehearsal surprised me.

But what good are they for all the impressionist studies
when they never found the right person standing next to the tree Sometimes, when the sun is up

or when San Marino Marini didn’t choose horses carefully for the rider,
they all cheated for some wonderful experience.

These will not be wasted on me, that’s why I’m telling You are


OK, this paragraph is pretty sensational
