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 /

Paddling for our lives we headed back into the open sea from our unfortunate visit to Cyclops Island. 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.

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