I'd forgotten how much I love this poem! Apparently he wrote it while on a ferry with Robert Lowell to go to some poet's convention, and it only took him about five minutes to write, and he read it there and people really liked it, and the fact that everyone loved a poem that O'Hara wrote in just five minutes got Robert Lowell incredibly pissed off because he was a nutcase. :D
