it seems they were all cheated of some marvellous experience which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I’m telling you about it
Frank O´Hara reading his poem "Having a coke with you" in his flat in New York in 1966, shortly before his accidental death. Taken from - "USA: Poetry: Frank O'Hara" produced and directed by Richard Moore, for KQED and WNET. Originally aired on September 1, 1966. This video was found where more videos can be seen: on http://www.frankohara.org
This is one of my favourite videos of all time.

His voice is just like Bob Dylan's! The smoker-new-york-jewish-poet-voice. I wish I had a voice just like that.
Thanks for sharing.
Just had a poetry-orgasm.
