"Good Morning, World!"

THE HAWK WEST WINDOW 10:30pm

The World Ended

for a sprinkling of ants

poured out from a Root Beer can

I picked up Today

@ The Base of My Painting

EMBLEM FOR THE GROWTH OF SILVER

@ The Side of Highway 3

teeming through

My Barrington Passage

THE HAWK FRONT DOOR 11:55am

There’s powder on My Face

My White Sweat Shirt

over My New Black

Push Up Bra

I put on Black Socks

old jeans that still fit

I’m off to shop for The Makings

of Stew

with My Cans still rattling

around

in My Black Escape

The Noon Radio News reports

“rising tide levels along coastal regions

& severe weather events 

in the coming years.”
