Frank O’Hara’s poem “A True Account of Talking to the Sun at Fire Island” is a fun account of the speaker’s encounter with the actual sun.

The opening line‚ “The sun woke me up this morning loud /

They grow wild in the moist tropical climate of the islands. They are all over my land in Barbados. When I designed my Labelle‚ she was to be a beautiful and delicate orchid set amid the thorny roses.

My men and I were terrified of the events that had occurred over the past days‚ it was a miracle that none of us had gone insane yet. With what sanity we had left we sailed for about six days according to our crew members that had been counting the days since the death of our fellow flute player. I think they really miss the guy...Well‚ I know I miss him‚ he was one of the best flute players in Ithaca

I spent twenty minutes crashing into walls and furniture‚ falling into pot plants and‚ in one
