Tonight When Eye Walked
Eliza’s Mexican Street Dog Concha —
The Sweetest Dog Eye Know —
Eye Could Hear The Waves
From The Cape

Around The Loop

In Volume
& Eye Listened Intently

On M(eye) S(eye)de of The Road

Eye have a Niece
somewhere in California
Who wants to be A Boy
(at least Eye think She does —
for Eye have been cut off from Her)
Eye do not know if She is being fed
TESTOSTERONE
Eye do not know if
She hates Her Breasts
or Why
& tomorrow She turns 18
(on The Queen’s Birthday)
is that some magical number?

into a painting titled

which currently lies folded up
Outside M(eye) Back Cellar Door
waiting to be hauled to the dump.

My Father Bought Me A Bracelet
Off A Street Vendor
In New York City
When Eye Was Maybe 21
It Cost 5 Dollars
Which Did Not Please M(eye) Father
Butt Eye Was In Love
w/ The Stainless Steel Hoop
w/ The Inlaid Misty Moon-shell Slices —
He Said, “It Should Have Cost Half That –“
Yet Eye Treasure It Today
As The Worth of M(eye) Dad
@ The Age of Maybe 21
Eye Took M(eye) Father’s Hand
Crossing A Street In Washington DC
Whereupon He Said
“Joanna, You’re A Traffic Stopper –“
