I once heard someone make a comment
at a very boring poetry reading where
they were celebrating the writing of Frank
O'Hara whom I have hated for  very long time;
on the upper east side which is a very chilly
that is all attitude this person said this
& I swear they were too numb to pick up on
the meaning of their own statement; this yuppy
numb nuts said 'I once saw a leaf blowing in the wind;
why do I need god'. That was an awesome
statement but this tiresome ***** just went
on prattling more semi-pseudo-intellectual *******;
for academics only; oddly, I was reading
Artaud's theatre & its double cuz I love
theater of cruelty where the actors suddenly
remember that what happens on stage is real,
like **** or a fistfight or a shouting
argument; it's the concept of theater that is BS;
anyway none of that crowd knew who the ****
Artaud was; didn't even try to pretend to know
or care; maybe it was me; there were still
live *** shows in the 80's; every third guy
on the subway was a pervert; it was a given;
a running joke; that's NYC; home of the serial
******(s) of the week; what Frank O'Hara
knew about NY can be summed up in his death;
he didn't see it coming; New York is like that;
u don't see it coming; u didn't see it;
it came all over ur face & u didn't see it
