O'Hara, Frank: Ma (Today in Hungarian)

Portre of O

Today (English)

Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas!

You really are beautiful! Pearls,

harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins! all

the stuff they've always talked about

                      

still makes a poem a surprise!

These things are with us every day

even on beachheads and biers. They

do have meaning. They're strong as rocks.

Ma (Hungarian)

Kenguruk, flitterek, jegeskávék!

Igazán szépek vagytok! Gyöngysor,

furulya, csipkebogyó, aszpirin!

Hiába beszélünk róluk annyit,

 

meglephetnek mégis a versben.

Életünkben nap mint nap jelen vannak,

még a strandon és a ravatalon is. És

van értelmük. Biztosak, mint a sziklai.
