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?
