reminded

Reminded by the internet, particularly the One Poet's Notes part of it, that today is poet Frank O'Hara's birthday (1926-1966). I'd heard but never seen this video.

Then I remember how the big green Collected knocked me out & reminded me to write poems again ... how that was what I wanted to do ... somehow. Wonder how many others got kicked into some kind of action by his poems. But then there are others who never cared for his stuff ... and that's OK, too ... though I don't understand them.

Nobody should experience anything they don’t need to, if they don’t need poetry bully for them. You know, from Personism: A Manifesto.
