Fixation (In the Manner of O'Hara)


I don’t have a cat 
But if I did, I know 

I’d want it to be 
Like Frank’s great 

Orange tawny one, Boris 
(Armed with Madness) Butts, 

The one he describes so lovingly, 
Aptly in “Cantata”— 

And if you want to know 
Why, you’ll just have to 

Part with that wild hair 
Up your ass, too.

Last Meditation in an Emergency


I’ve had it with your mantras— 
I bet if Frank were here, 
He’d say something like 

A sure-fire way to stop clutter 
Cluttering your head is to stop 
Wondering why 

Sirens sing in your ear.
