pop (Free verse) by Dental Panic In his eulogy Larry Rivers gave a description
of Frank OâHaraâs deathbed
and according to Warhol
that was very pop
and suddenly I understood pop
and blessed with this knowledge
I went out on the street and I said:
that is
and
that is not
what a day!
for a moment
everything stopped
and then went its own way
Up the ladder:
The Well
Down the ladder:
Cherry Blossoms (anti-haiku)

you're welcome.
Three types of pop? Pop as in pop culture, as in father, and as a measure of a moment quickly passed? I stll am not getting much O'Hara. Maybe it's me.
If Frank leaves you in the dark, maybe you should try to find a door. Like 'The Day Lady Died', that's a beautiful poem.
I really don't care what is pop and what is not, but I like the way you've made an issue of it.
Thanks. To me it's like stripping a thing until nothing but the thing itself is left, something like that.
