"Good Morning, World!"

THE HAWK BEDROOM 7:40pm

Our Green Bedroom

is like an attic room

cozy under the eaves of the peaked roof-line

It’s been newly floored

with cork IDENTITY SILVER

& newly trimmed in Beauti-Tone

DESIGNER SERIES Stanhope Shore Matte

while I painted two coats

I listened to CJLS

& took My Lunch Break the first day

& A Tea Break the second

Our Colossal Bed is still pulled away

from the west wall

to allow for the remaining installation

of moulding along the baseboard

Our “Always Kiss Me Goodnight” sign

given to Me by Our Real Estate Agent

when We moved in

hangs above the south window

harmonizing with the trim

 

THE HAWK KITCHEN 6:10pm

My Cat Astro

I Love So Much

hissed at Me today

when I manhandled Him

onto My Lap

I’ve never heard Him hiss before —

I will never treat Him

so brusquely again

I might get a tattoo

“PROLIFE”

on My Forehead —

of course I want The Cows to be happy

& The Rancher’s Mink to be beautiful

handled humanely

but We’ve got to have The Line

between Human

& Animal
