Buk on Capote (1 Viewer)

I remember reading a poem in a newer collection that I inferred to be about Truman Capote (He always wore a long dramatic scarf... his sardonic wit had dried up, and he became an old bitter frog-like man (or something to that effect). Can anybody tell me the name of the poem, and even better post it if you have the resources
thanks.
 
It's called "Nothing but a scarf". It's in the latest poem collection - "Come on in". The second poem in the book. I've just read it the other day. I also thought of Capote right away. "...a little elf - man with huge eye glasses. and he always wore a long dramatic scarf..." , He-he.

Thanks for that. I like Buk, and Capote for different reasons, and in someways find their personalities to be similar. I wonder if Buk wrote that resenting Capote, or out of embarrassment for the person he became.
