Quickly in passing

I'm doing a snitch of research on Frank O'Hara for a school project this evening, and just ran across this gem written by the same:



TODAY
Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas!
You really are beautiful! Pearls,
harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins! all
the stuff they've always talked about

still makes a poem a surprise!
These things are with us every day
even on beachheads and biers. They
do have meaning. They're strong as rocks.
