"Good Morning, World!"

I HAVE A WINDOW BY MY BED

The Hawk Queen Bed 8:55pm

I have a window by My Bed

which lets The Whole World In

across the sonorous waves

of multitudinous peeps

the tourist cars arrive

to watch the deer

and the air of cool spring

seeps in

so soothing to a relative

from Florida

MASTICATION

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 1:55pm

I feed upon The View

before Me

and after Me

I will be embedded

in The Face, The Blue Face

of The Earth

as I gaze over

Its expanse

My Horizon

chewed to The Core

The Hawk Kitchen 8:19am

I once created

a giant banana popsicle

covered in chocolate wax

It got driven on top

of a car

through Lower Manhattan

one fabulous night

It visited a gay bar

down by The Hudson

to arrive at The World Trade Center
