ANIMALS
Have you forgotten what we were like then
when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth
it's no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners
the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water
I wouldn't want to be faster
or greener than now if you were with me O you
were the best of all my days
[Frank O'Hara, 1950]

so schön... und selbst nach 60 Jahren immer noch wahr...eine Liebeserklärung an das Leben und eine Aufforderung , nie zu vergessen selbst sein bester Freund zu sein, zu zweifeln und zu prüfen, sich zu verändern und immer bei sich zu bleiben und man selbst...so schön...
