Ah! Of all the many poems listed in this
\ncollection of Frank O\u2019Hara\u2019s finest,
\nto think I cannot even find one titled \u201cRain\u201d
\nseems a mistake. <\/p>\n
A l\u2019autre c\u00f4te de la fen\u00eatre,
\nIl y a des petites morceaux de l\u2019eau
\net pour maintenant, je suis content, vraiment.<\/p>\n
In my study, Peter Gabriel plays his Sledgehammer
\nNick too, would enjoy this. His head swaying rhythmically\u2014
\nno doubt. <\/p>\n
There is something about a light rain
\nthat moves me. I feel it often. I feel
\nthe calm within a sound of cool. I
\nsee it, slowly. <\/p>\n
Waking up from another dream of you
\nthis morning, I grinned. You do not bother me
\nwith your smile anymore. Not today, at least. <\/p>\n
Not while I hear faint tapping at my window,
\nknowing the sky sits still, lavender grey. Not while
\nthis coffee is still hot enough to drink, I feel assertive. <\/p>\n
Enough, enough! I\u2019ve been here at Lederman
\nfor over an hour now, and I\u2019ve yet to open a
\nsingle textbook, but have written down everything
\nI wanted to learn today. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
