Celebration of A Day’s Depression
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 1:22pm
I will change out of My LL Bean Cashmere Sweater
out of My Reitman’s grey stretchy pants
I am upstairs now @ The Hawk West Desk Window
about to order My Self
de-clothed:
off with My Everyday Sandals
keeping on My Dark Grey Underwear
& galaxy filament-ed bra —
I am about to cloak My Self
in My Warm Grey Bathrobe —
There! I did it!
& I’ve left My Smoky Crystal Dangly Earrings

TRANSLUCENCY
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:22pm
Lime-green bug
in Your See-thru wings
when first I saw Your Underside
You were pale yellow
against My Window —
what r u trying to tell Me?
I went outside
to touch You very carefully —
You took to My Hand
& flew

SIGNS OF GREY
The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:11pm
I have slipped
into cashmere grey
I have looked
@ My Passing
vehicles as grey now —
differing shades

CONFESSION
The Hawk TV Room 6:11pm
During The NYC September
of 1984
EYE painted
The Bull’s EYE
for Our Twin Towers
filmed by German Television —
when I mailed That Video
to My Father in Saudi Arabia
He never got It
I Believe M(EYE) Video Was Confiscated
by The Islamic Religious Police
Circulated Through Various Extremist Factions
inflamed by the overt display
of a beautiful Western Woman
with Long Blond Hair
doing & achieving such
A Public & Powerful Act —
I believe The Bombing
of February 1993 was instigated
by M(EYE) Painting
The Coup d’etat
is
Our Precious

REPORTED HERE
The Hawk West Desk Window 12:06pm
I emerged dressed for a party
from The A Train
@ 110th Street
@night
& was blocked on the stairs
by a young punk
making hand signals
asking Me if I knew
where to get The A Train
I said, “You know perfectly well
where to get The A Train –”
but by then the crowd
was gone
I was back on the platform
two other muggers
approached from either side
I was caught
they demanded My Wallet
which was in a shoulder bag
I said, “What if I don’t give It to you?”
the thug from the stairs
pulled out a switch blade
I dug out My Purse —
the guy to My Left
took off My World Trade Center Watch
given to Me by My Mother
the guy to My Right looked
@ My Mother’s Silver Bangles
but didn’t take Them

I looked for A Silver Streak
out upon The Water
& saw A Silver Cloud
instead
meshed within
The Sky
parallel to
My Horizon

FROM A TUB
The Hawk En Suit Bath 6:44pm
Remove The Crust
of Aeons’ Years —
Dispose of Your Treachery
into My Hallowed-out Hands —
within These Sinister Bubbles
I Reside to Exhume
The Blackest Blackness
of Faith Gone Awry

Self Organizing Galaxy by Joanna Hyde
An amazing undertaking by an amazing artist…Joanna Hyde.
Self Organizing Galaxy
The Self Organizing Galaxy was a temporary art exhibit on a lower World Trade Centre building done by Joanna Hyde in 1984. She was a young artist at the time and had just graduated from Cooper Union when she completed the project. It is a relevant and truly amazing piece of Art. I have watched this video several times and I am in AWE of the dedication, skill and insight of Joanna as an Artist. What an accomplishment this is.
