Lana Turner (1)

Poem [Lana Turner has collapsed!]

Frank O’Hara, 1926 - 1966

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

Poema [Lana Turner s'ha desplomat!]

Lana Turner s'ha desplomat!

Jo trotava cap endavant i de sobte

va començar a ploure i a nevar

i tu digueres que feia pedra

però la pedregada et colpeja el cap

durament així que realment nevava i

plovia i jo anava amb tanta pressa

per trobar-te però el trànsit

actuava exactament com el cel

i de sobte veig un titular

LANA TURNER S'HA DESPLOMAT!

no hi ha neu a Hollywood

no hi ha pluja a Califòrnia

He anat a moltes festes

i actuat amb perfecte deshonor

però realment mai em vaig desplomar

oh Lana Turner t'estimem aixeca't
