GESTURE OF REPROACH
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Hawk West Desk Window 10:09am
I stood as The Child
stooped slightly
with My Left Hand on My Belly
My Right behind My Back
My Head turned to The Left
“These are My Socks
My Watch
My Room, My Radio
It’s My World
— leave My World Alone”

Oh. Yes.
Hey SAC have you heard of My TEA PARTY for my dollies? You’re invited.
I’ll bring my dress-up clothes and lipsticks!
One boy, Ben, is gonna be there and he says Time’s already there & I don’t know if Time is a boy or a girl or a eunuch. I don’t know what to wear — something of your’s?
