When EYE sit down to pee

EYE am a giant

on a mountain —

EYE can guzzle orange

Gatorade Perform

with Its metal grey label

in one go

MORNING SUSTENANCE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:45am

EYE eat M(EYE) cereal

CONVICTION

The Hawk West Desk Window 10:46am

I am convinced

that God is Woman —

the more I clean My House

or try to —

the more galaxies I create

the more black holes I fill

& the more germs

rather than eliminate

I choose to live with —

I am convinced

MORNING SKY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:09am

The Sky is heavy blue

with cloud —

The Sea the colour of plasticine

Rudy’s Head sits veiled in The Living Room

unseen

while He’s back in hospital

MY ASTROPITHICUS

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:38pm

I understand the comfort

of holding & hugging

A 22lb Black Cat

on My Lap — I can hug Him

& leak out My Heart

into Him

& not worry about

being a burden

 

RECONCILLIATION OF OPPOSITES

The Hawk Exercise Room 12:43pm

The Colossal Blades from

My Giant Sculpture

“Peaches & Blades”

filling the lobby of Cooper Union’s

4th floor

will reappear

in “M(EYE) BODY”

as the radiating silver

on either side

of M(EYE) Exclamation

MORNING SILVER

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:55am

The Sea is a swath of Silver

as I have drunk from

My Glass of Life

I am awake now

with the kettle on

harboring little strife

MEMORABILIA

Eliza’s Room 9:33pm

EYE sleep tonight

beneath the accouterments

of fame

surrounding the lavender corner

of My Daughter’s outgrown

room

it’s tiny — the room

the fame is huge

delineated by My Survival

of photos stretched out and hung

with congratulatory letters from New York City’s Former Mayor Ed Koch

and New Jersey’s Former Governor Thomas H. Kean

for My Painting Self Organizing Galaxy

which spawned 9/11

M(EYE) BLACK STAR 2

The Hawk Basement 10:00am

EYE don’t want anything

to out shine M(EYE) Black Star —

when I pour out the swampy green

I want it to haze into

the background

I want My Star in The Center

with ample usage

of radiating

silver
