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 fluoresent 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 marvellous experience
which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it
this is by Frank O'Hara...its lovely
i always sit down to write these things and everything i wanted to say just vanishes from my brain and instead its filled with silly things..ha..
So some of the super injunctions are going to be lifted ..I'm not sure how i feel about this..i think that people do have a right to privacy, like when its they're kids names or they're private info, but for sordid affairs..?if they weren't dabbling in debauchery then they would have nothing to hide..and for some reason it seems to be quite acceptable to have affairs as long as they can keep in on the dl?As for politicians, i don't really think they should be allowed super - injunctions on the media for immorality..cause they're leading the country? Instead of hiding it, or having to apologize for sleeping with your secretary on your desk, how about just not doing it in the first place? imagine, being faithful to your partner..WOAAHH..
Read this book in America called Grace Exchange and there was a story analogy thing that was in it and its just been in my head a bit recently..prob not gonna be able to tell it right but I'll try..you should get the book..
So there's like this really really rich King over a country and he has no son for an heir..so he goes onto the streets and adopts like a street urchin..in my head its Oliver, like steals him away from Fagans oily clutches..sorry sidebar..but anyway so he adopts him and the urchin comes to live in the palace and he will one day own the country and rule etc and he can have anything he wants now..So obv like the street urchins buzzin...but the King keeps a wee eye on him and notices that he keeps slipping like the odd gold plate or candlestick into his pocket (not sure how you casually slip that into your pocket but go with it). Anyway the street urchin is stealing from the king because he doesn't grasp that he is adopted, its like he believes one day this is gonna run out and he's gonna be back on the street so he starts preparing for that now..he is legally a prince, and will one day be a king..but he still has the attitude of distrust, fear and begins to hoard the treasures in the palace...Instead of acknowledging that he is a prince, his future is secure, he doesn't need to worry about the things of the world cause his now father is looking after him and will continue to, unitll he himself is king..
we are the street urchins.
we cling to things that God has given to us cause we miss the point.
we are royalty.
