Salutation by Ezra Pound

O generation of the thoroughly smug
          and thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy families,
I have seen their smiles full of teeth
          and heard ungainly laughter.
And I am happier than you are,
And they were happier than I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
          and do not even own clothing.

As Planned by Frank O’Hara

After the first glass of vodka
you can accept just about anything
of life even your own mysteriousness
you think it is nice that a box
of matches is purple and brown and is called
La Petite and comes from Sweden
for they are words that you know and that
is all you know words not their feelings
or what they mean and you write because
you know them not because you understand them
because you don’t you are stupid and lazy
and will never be great but you do
what you know because what else is there?

V té chvíli se do rozhovoru vmísila starší žena s trvalou ondulací; přešla rázem k jádru věci: “My bychom potřebovali, soudruhu, od tebe vědět, kdo byla ta žena, s kterou se u tebe pan Záturecký potkal.”

Come on, girls. Die for Mr. Jensen. Come on.
