O'Hara and Creeley

When I was fifteen I still thought Frank O'Hara was a heterosexual
All those poems to Jane!

About this time I read Karl Shapiro's
"On Learning That Your Favorite Poet is a Homosexual"

Who was he talking about?
Whitman? Auden?

Older now, I try to slow down my thoughts
None the wiser for wear

Colllect Creeley seriously before I die
A long tiime from now
