The Hawk West Desk Window 9:44pm
My Third Grade Class Trip
to The Statue of Liberty
involved climbing the interior
circular staircases
up to Her Crown
— or was it Her Arm?
seeing Humans below
looking like ants
as I wrote the next day
from My Changed Perspective
and did I write
that Miss Robley
gave Me a dime
to buy An Orange Popsicle?
The Hawk Corner Room 5:12pm
I have given up
on Black & Purple
— That Lethal Combination —
even when My Black Cat sits
beside a pair of Purple
UGG Boots by The Kitchen Door
I think of My Art School Satin Lips
& Black Fuzzy Bed
of Purple Phalli
I am no longer interested
in The Symbolism of The Night
of hidden passions
under cover of Darkness
I am in The Sedate
Components
of The Spectrum
The Hawk Corner Room 10:37am
Eliza is off to Italy
I’ve washed Her Bedding
& re-made Her Bed
I’m Showered & Changed
into moss green & taupe
eating a piece of Ancient Grain Toast
& drinking a cup of tea
in Eliza’s tidied Corner Room
I may not run into DHW
before He leaves again
but now, for some reason
I don’t really care
