8698. LUNCH POEMS

LUNCH POEMS
I used to sit under an oil tree,
reading Frank O'Hara's 'Lunch
Poems.' They were fun, and cute,
and coy, and uniquely wordy. Just
as I wanted to be : which was a
really bad idea in retrospect.
-
Across the street was that huge, 
old church  -  Richardson or 
Renwick or one of those guys : 
architects on gospel parade, 
always designing Gilded Age 
churches. If God had a care 
for any of that, He'd have
made us of skin we could
take to the bank.
