FRANK O'HARA

Under the Cedar Bar code

of nonconfomity
 
poets and expressionists,

       Frank being inter racial
  drinks
 with a black  guy

a sanguine waiter
at Sardi's,
  he met on the elevator

Frank suddenly praises Pasternak

in conversation

to his unfamiliar new friend

he does not know your Russian love

brings the guy home

after a drink

for a one night stand

some around the bar think,

but frankly do not understand.
