"The Poet's Corner..."

British poet Keith Jarrett was once asked at a gig if he had a “gay poem”. 

He didn’t, so he wrote this one.

“Excuse me, poem, are you gay?

Have you grown up contrarily to what I wanted you to say?

I most certainly didn’t write you that way

Was it something I said, something I did that turned you?

Maybe I should have peppered your verses

With sport, girls and beer

Maybe as your author I deserted you…

Or did another writer turn you queer?”

He performs his entire poem below:
