Porn Star Poet

Scott O'Hara-Frank O'Hara

Brothers Gay

Porn Star/Poet

So they say.

Wouldn't you know it.

Those Irish boys are so randy.

Without a priest handy, who's a boy to do?

Not true?

Not brothers?

Separate mothers?

Identities lost and crossed.

Conflated like a couple of nineteenth century Jacksons,

Plowing their fair share of America's fruited plain.

Is this a case for Eliot Ness?

Or maybe Herman Hesse?

Be well read in poetry and porn.

Know the twain of brain and brawn.

Each an O'Hara's spawn

shared but not paired,

In life and art,

In poetry and porn.
