Something Sunday
Flower of Love by Oscar Wilde Sweet, I blame you not, for mine the fault was, had I not been made of commonclayI had climbed the higher heights unclimbed yet, seen the fuller air, thelarger day.

Something Sunday
Chez Jane by Frank O’Hara The white chocolate jar full of petalsswills odds and ends around in a dizzying eye of four o’clocks now and to come. The tiger, marvellously striped and irritable, leaps on the table and without disturbing a hair of the flowers’ breathless attention, pisses into the pot, right down its delicate spout.A whisper of steam goes…
