Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror

“Leave your change behind, 
Leave your clothes, and go. It is time now.
It was time before too, but now it is really time.
You will never have enjoyed storms so much 
As on these hot sticky evenings that are more like August 
Than September. Stay. A fake wind wills you to go 
And out there on the stormy river witness buses bound for Connecticut, 
And tree-business, and all that we think about when we stop thinking.
The weather is perfect, the season unclear. Weep for your going 
But also expect to meet me in the near future, when I shall disclose 
New further adventures, and that you shall continue to think of me.”


in Thank You For Not Cooperating
John Ashbery (1983)
