The Hawk Living Room 12:56pm

Dr Blair bathes every morning

& has Me wash His Silver Hair

I lay out His Clothes —

moss green & grey

He shaves & smells so good

I feed Him His Breakfast —

instant oatmeal

protein shake

in front of The Computer

He changes His Slippers

for ageless Echo Shoes

& if Meniere’s Disease

doesn’t hit Him

between The Ears

He puts on His Leather Coat

with pen, cell phone

& gum

& is out The Door
