To Frank O'Hara In Heaven Valentine

Dear Frank it may seem rude
to intrude on you like this
since we’ve never properly met
though we could have if what
I know about you now
was something I knew then
I would have hiked to New York
to meet you or at least
to stalk you for a few weeks
when I was 17 and you were
only 17 years older and
would soon be gone though
in an earlier life you invented
Italian singing can you say what
you’ve planned for us next
