"Good Morning, World!"

Mr. Heavyhead

THE LITTLEST ALIEN

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:22pm

When I met Him I wore a doeskin dress

with beads around My Neck

I held My Bow and Arrows

out for Him to see

He touched the points

with His Little Fingers

and smiled strangely

while from His Pocket

of Spandex product

He produced a flat-screen

TV device and took a picture

of Me

WHAT ARE WE?

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:45pm

If Human Beings

Are Stars, What Are Animals —

Star Dust Nebulae?

SEE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:38pm

When I close My Eyes

tightly

& lie in The Sun

I perceive a sea

of Red

When I loosen My Lids

I see mottled Silver

& as My Eyes squint open

I see The Rays

of My Enlightenment
