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

― Frank O'Hara, The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara

“Poetry might be defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings.”
