SUPER PERSONA

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:30pm

Black Jesus is My Super Persona

He can be Me anywhere

any time

He guards Me & speaks out

socially

He wears black

& silver

& sees in The Night

He’s linked with The 2nd Coming

flip side

dark vs light

19 years ago I was The 2nd Coming of Christ

Today I Am Super Black Jesus

BUSY BLACK JESUS

The Hawk Kitchen 2:52pm

Black Jesus was busy today

in Her Black Jesus Kitchen

She cooked peppers that were going bad

–for spaghetti sauce–

macaroni for Eliza & Tyler

when They get back from Their first night

on The Island

Shepherd’s Pie with corned beef

from The Hawk Basement

She listened to Her Black Jesus Radio

& drank Her Black Jesus Tea

–She was busy all right–

She even did two loads of laundry

 still hanging

on Her Black Jesus

Line

THE HAWK PORTICO 2:30pm

That Fly on My Finger —

He’s not scared of Me

& look — how big am I?

I’m not scared of The Universe —

It’s been squashed down into Human proportions

inside My Mind

at The Tip of My Finger

BEYOND MAGIC

The Hawk West Deck Window 11:46am

I have The Power

to Reshape The Universe

I have The Power

to Reshape The Universe

I have The Power to

Reshape The Universe

I Have To

I Have To

Reshape — Reshape

The Universe is not some array of pond scum

The Universe Is Me

MOON WORSHIPPER

I’m a Moon Worshipper —

I just ate a banana 

while looking at The Moon

and laid the peel

on the window sill

below

THE TOMATO-COLOURED COUCH 7:40pm

I have been made uncomfortable —

no, I didn’t lose My House in a hurricane —

I have lost My Trust

My Faith

in Humanity

— not God —

there will always be God for Me

made only too obvious

by The Shower Of Silver Lights

& I used to say God is Humanity and Humanity is God —

where is Our Human Intelligence

Our Honesty

Our Correct Judgement

Our Truth?

Am I to shoot

Silver Streaks

at My Fellow Man?

& The Women —

what should I shoot at Them —

flowers out of pistol barrels?

MY SKY

My Sky is trying It’s damnedest

to calm Me down from reading

Bloomberg’s endorsement of Obama

— citing climate change —

My Sky Clouds are Silver in The East

& carry One Magnificent Sunset

in The West —

I am eternally thankful for My Beautiful Sky

& nobody’s gonna mess with It —

GET IT?

DRESSED TO KILL/MOURN

The Hawk West Desk Window 4:30pm On The Dot

Well Black Jesus is at It again

in front of Tim Horton’s

to a bevy of Young Females

smoking

She strides over to Them

& rhetorically asks:

“Hey Young Ladies —

What does It look like

smoking in front of Tim Horton’s?

— Think About It –”

“So do You have the right

to tell Us what to do —

Bitch?”
