David Lehman - February 23

Light rain is falling in Central Park br but not on Upper Fifth Avenue or Central Park West br where sun and sky are yellow and blue br Winds are gusting on Washington Square br through the arches and on to LaGuardia Place br but calm is the corner of 8th Street and Second Avenue br which reminds me of something John Ashbery said br about his poem "Crazy Weather" he said br he was in favor of all kinds of weather br just so long as it's genuine weather br which is always unusually bad, unusually br good, or unusually indifferent, br since there isn't really any norm for weather br When he was a boy his mother met a friend br who said, "Isn't this funny weather?" br br It was one of his earliest memoriesbr br David Lehmanbr br
