A PHOTO OF FRANK O'HARA ON THE PHONE


Lord knows who he’s talking to – Joan Mitchell?
Jane Freilicher? John Ashbery? Joe LeSueur? –
but Lord knows he’s hot; the sleeves rolled up
to the bicep, the arms loose at his sides and the phone
between ear and shoulder. Being social.
Being a smoker. He smokes! His shirt tucked in
to his jeans and splashed with paint is art.
He was/is art! I love him. I love Frank O’Hara!
