"Good Morning, World!"

WATCH OUT WORLD

H-e-a-r

I Am

dressed in a white sweat shirt

My Daughter’s pyjama bottoms

H-e-a-r

I Am

drinking a cup of tea — Earl  Grey

sitting in My Grandmother’s Wrought Iron Arm Chair

H-e-a-r

I Am

next to The Sliding Glass Doors

It’s Grey Out

I Have To Check

On My Black & White Cat

SILVER YEARS

Dear Guy Tozzoli:

You always called Me

“The World’s Greatest Artist”

You said

“You’re The Greatest Woman To Ever Live”

You provided the rectilinear framework

I provided The Nautilus

Am I Not

“The Face Who Launched A Thousand Ships?”
