Poem (Lana Turner Has Collapsed) By Frank O'Hara |
||||||||||
Lana Turner has collapsed! I was trotting along and suddenly it started raining and snowing and you said it was hailing but hailing hits you on the head hard so it was really snowing and raining and I was in such a hurry to meet you but the traffic was acting exactly like the sky and suddenly I see a headline LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED! There is no snow in Hollywood There is no rain in California I have been to lots of parties and acted perfectly disgraceful but I never actually collapsed oh Lana Turner we love you get up |

A successful man is one who can make more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. -Lana Turner |
