"Good Morning, World!"

THE HAWK DECK 8:00pm

I Hear My Waves

Through The Trees

My Fog Has Settled In

In My Chair

I Sit & See

My Years Have Hardly Been

TO KILL A PSYCHIATRIST

put on Your Tattoo Sweater, Black

fix Yourself an Ice Coffee

–a tall one–

sit on Your Back Deck

with the dishwasher going

& eggplant parmigiana in the oven

Open Your Journal

Aim Your Silver Pen

write

between

his puny

eyes

During My Brother’s Fatality Inquiry

I bought a silk dress suit

Armani size 8 made in Italy–

–It Was The Colour Of Moonlight–

I thought a Doctor’s Wife

should have Such A Suit:

I paid Today’s Value

of 30 Silver Maple Leafs

& gained 5 pounds
