"Good Morning, World!"

THIS EVENING

The Hawk Deck 6:50pm

I’d like to paint a picture

of The Skyscape before Me

without the interruption of a single bug:

The Clouds are blue & gold

moving to The South

majestic, cumulus

layered above My Ocean

highlighted by The Sun

setting to The West–

here comes one mosquito

THIS MORNING

The Hawk Kitchen 11:30am

This Morning I lay on My Back

in The New Dentist’s Chair

& looked up to see My Future

emblazoned on The Ceiling:

The Flashes

The Split Seconds

i-dent-i-fied Me

& I had on My Bulletproof Vest

not like The Twilight Star

in red brocade
