Frank O´Hara reads "Having a coke with you"

This poem is so beautiful.

I think he has this causal easy tone which matches the theme of the poem perfectly.

this is so beautiful a poem
Im so touched

couldd someone explain the poem im srry im SO stupidd

Alright, I hate explaining poems because I think great poems resist an easy summary. But if it helps you appreciate the poem, I'll try. O'Hara is comparing everyday life (in the form of his friend, maybe boyfriend; he was gay) to great art and concludes that even great art is really nothing compared to life. This is significant since O'Hara's life was devoted to art. In addition to being a poet he was also a curator and art critic.

thank you  =P

i could listen to him read poems like i listen to music

The experience of his loved one.

Nice to see a film of him exists. He doesn't read too well, but it's good to hear the voice of one of the most interesting poets of the 20th-Century.
