"Good Morning, World!"

IN FRONT

The Hawk Living Room 7:30pm

I once wore Red Underwear

for My Whole Life

& It got Me Nowhere

except to where I am

on a tomato-coloured love seat

staring at My Abortion

BEYOND THE GLASS DOOR

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 2:25pm

Am I already an old woman

sitting by Her Window

watching The School Bus

weave Its way

through the scrub spruce?

I may never learn to knit

but I have My Place

protected by a dream:

My Dream of Living
