Hmm …

 Free Verse Scansion at God of the Machine. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

O'Hara was trying to turn the rhythms and inflections of ordinary speech into poetry, and do it in a way that sounds improvisatory. It looks easy to do. It isn't. I, too, like "quandriness".

See also this, by Bryan, which Dave also sent: On the Most Talented Writer of My Generation.
