Indecision

“Did I say that? One says so many things, and the problem is they all get written down.”

John Ashbery

In response to the question "Why do you call yourself anti-art?," Bard College, 2005

Problem

“Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,
At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents, through narrow passes.
But will he know where to find you,
Recognize you when he sees you,
Give you the thing he has for you?”

John Ashbery
