Autobiographia Literaria by Frank O'Hara


Autobiographia Literaria
 
When I was a child
I played by myself in a  
corner of the schoolyard
 all alone 
 
I hated dolls and I 
hated games, animals were
not friendly and birds
flew away. 
 
If anyone was looking
for me I hid behind a
tree and cried out "I am
an orphan." 
 
And here I am, the 
center of all beauty!
writing these poems!
Imagine!
