Did not wear overcoat <br>Saying to me as we walked across the Yard <br>Cold brittle autumn is you should be wearing overcoat. I said <br>You are not wearing overcoat. He said, <br>You should do as I say not do as I do. <br>Just how American it was and how late Forties it was <br>Delmore, but not I, was probably aware. He quoted Finnegans Wake to me <br>In his New York apartment sitting on chair <br>Table directly in front of him. There did he write? I am wondering. <br>Look at this photograph said of his mother and father. <br>Coney Island. Do they look happy? He couldn't figure it out. <br>Believed Pogo to be at the limits of our culture. <br>Pogo. Walt Kelly must have read Joyce Delmore said. <br>Why don't you ask him? <br>Why don't you ask Walt Kelly if he read Finnegans Wake or not. <br>Your parents don't look happy but it is just a photograph. <br>Maybe they felt awkward posing for photographs. <br>Maybe it is just a bad photograph. Delmore is not listening <br>I want to hear him tell me something sad but however true. <br>Delmore in his tomb is sitting. People say yes everyone is dying <br>But here read this happy book on the subject. Not Delmore. Not that rueful man.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Kenneth+Koch">Kenneth Koch</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=429674" data-title="A Momentary Longing To Hear Sad Advice From One Long Dead de Kenneth Koch" data-description="Who was my teacher at Harvard.
