Blueprints and Others Poem by John Ashbery

The man across the street seems happy,
or pleased. Sometimes a porter evades the grounds.
After you play a lot with the military
you are my own best customer.

I've done five of that.
Make my halloween. Ask me not to say it.
The old man wants to see you — now.
That's all right, but find your own.
Do you want to stop using these?

Last winning people told me to sit on the urinal.
Do not put on others what you can put on yourself.
How to be in the city my loved one.
Men in underwear    ...    A biography field
like where we live in the mountains,

a falling. Yes I know you have.
Troves of merchandise, you know, "boomer buzz."
Hillbilly sculptures of the outside.
(They won't see anybody.)
