I typed this poem--one sentence per page--long ago. 1980s?

Ashbery was a great poet and a huge influence on me, especially in my college years. Only a few years ago did I learn that he was also a collage artist, which makes total sense from his poetry. Huge regret that I never met him, though I did hear him read once. And now he is gone.
