No, the title is not a typo. It's a too obscure reference to Apolo Ohno, the speed skater who spells his name that way.
After
Apolo
The bent old man
stoops his way down the street
like a wind-up speed skater,
a stuttering, slow motion shadow
of what, for all I know,
he might once have been-
a flickering foreshadowing of
what
we all might be,
of what I am becoming
as I round this crowded, lonely rink
one more time.
