Having a Coke With You

Having a Coke With You Summary

The speaker describes an afternoon spent with his lover in the park, comparing this moment to other momentous occasions and famous works of art. He decides that having a coke with his lover is "even more fun" than traveling to other cities, and realizes that his lover is more beautiful than the young men who modeled for artists like Rembrandt, Leonardo, and Michelangelo. The speaker composes a poem to vouch for the fact that his "marvellous experience" will not go wasted on him.
