from WERE I ADAM, THE POEM I’D WRITE EVE | Bob Hicok

… how you are the beginning

of life as I know it, the going under

in small tufts and rivulets of spring,

the severings I’ve always loved

as seeds are the death of the apple

for now.

About:

I want to be at least as alive as the vulgar. And if some aficionado of my mess says
"That's not like Frank!," all to the good! I don't wear brown and grey suits all the
time, do I? No. I wear workshirts to the opera,
often. I want my feet to be bare,
I want my face to be shaven, and my heart--you can't plan on the heart, but
the better part of it, my poetry, is open.
— Frank O'Hara
