"Good Morning, World!"

Sun Worshipping

I sat and sat

to catch The Rise

fulfilling My Daily View

Eye turned to let a cat

inside

and beheld

My Sun-struck Pew

Eastlink

What did Dr Blair

hope to achieve by holding

me down for so long?

DAWN

Sun-meshed horizon

colouring clouds, Eye can hear

M(eye) morning bird song

Eye H’aint No Germ-o-phobe

One foine day

I’ll be picked up

way off this ground

Eye’ve lived on

for 15 billion years —

think of the germs

I’ll leave behind

while The Big Bang Theory

is only something

to sneeze at

HEALED

I have been embraced

by a high white Baptist Church

and let go

like a helium balloon

by the ties

of my mother’s death

April Fool’s Day

25 years ago

We had Our Canada Dry

Kiss

laid out straight

on a quilted cot

He was Mine

and I was His

and I am happy

with what I got

“Sleep Will Be An Issue For The Rest of Your Life”

Eye used to sleep a lot

on drugs

ingested religiously

@ 9:11pm

 

Those Days/Nights are gone forever

as I live

on paint fumes

Hip Hop Music

& M(eye) Own Life

Rec-la-ma-tion

1. The reclaiming of waste, desert, marshy or submerged land for cultivation or other use.

My walk today was to the beach

where storms of yester-year

came to reach

the dunes I trod

-mountains now-

strata exposed

to show My Ears

The Word

“rec-la-ma-tion”

to echo clear —

I walked home

to turn the page

Who Cares?

Eye am The Woman

of glitter and gold

Eye have entered The Age

of Silver

to have and to hold

The Age of indifference —

Eye will never grow old

The Silver Anniversary

Eye woke This Morning

from The Dream

of cleaning up cat shit

with M(eye) bare hands —

the cat shit was in the shape

of a computer key board —

laid on the seat of M(eye) Grandparents’

Victorian Rosewood Chair.

The Key Board was intricate —

It was Intricate Shit —

and I had It on My Hands
