Jasper Johns
Skin with O’Hara Poem
1963/1965
National Gallery of Art

the clouds go soft
               change color and so many kinds
puff up, disperse
          sink into the sea
the heavens go out of kilter
          an insane remark greets
                     the monkey on the moon
in a season of wit
          it is all demolished
or made fragrant
     sputnik is only the word for “traveling companion”
here on earth
     at 16 you weight 145 pounds and at 36
   the shirts change, and less procession
       but they are all neck 14 sleeve 33     
       and holes appear and are filled
the same holes            anonymous
  no more conversion; no more conversation
the sand inevitably seeks the eye
                     and it is the same eye
