Mayakovsky

goldenfiddle:

Now I am quietly waiting for
the catastrophe of my personality
to seem beautiful again,
and interesting, and modern.

The country is grey and
brown and white in trees,
snows and skies of laughter
always diminishing, less funny
not just darker, not just grey.

It may be the coldest day of
the year, what does he think of
that? I mean, what do I? And if I do,
perhaps I am myself again.

~ Frank O’Hara

(from Meditations In An Emergency)

BUY IT

Just caught up with the episode. (Cable was out during the move.) Too much to say Weiner was trying too hard here? Love O’Hara, but poetry? As the ep closer? I know Draper’s got a miserable intellectual inside somewhere, but let’s not push it.
