SELF-CONTAINMENT
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:22pm

a partner of religion
of life
I can eat My Ice Cream
alone
on My Tomato-coloured Couch
and not worry
about
a God-damn
Thing

Then why do you write?
For whom are these words destined,
And what is your aim?
I am an artist expressing My Self — these words are destined for My External Audience — My Aim is to Wake Up The World to The Night of Silver. Thank you for your questions.
