"Good Morning, World!"

Assault w/ a Weapon

Eye have in my possession

the implement of destruction:

the blue and white iron

belonging to My First Husband

wielded by His Former Live-in Girlfriend

a dancer

to whack Him on His Hip

while hot

to leave a permanent scar

of polka dots

and The Man’s Story

of “Bad PMS”

Sunday Morning

Eye can have My Church

here, hear upon The Beach

I can walk, wake with The Birds

in the social structure of solitude

in the company of Life

Eye can shine with The New Sun

ABASHED

Eye asked my husband

if I was a creative

genius — he said “No.”

My Paintings Are Organic

My Paintings are loose

dripping like punctured abcess

colours even fall

Belief System

The Human Mind can

and does believe anything:

Believe what you want

Lewd

I never did like

the way he wangled his dick

along the stair case

RESPONSE

Eye Claim

Responsibility

for 9/11

and Quite a Responsibility

It Is:

I have not sung a song

in honour of

Destruction-ism

(My New Art Form)

I have hung

M(eye) First Husband’s Love Letter

upon M(eye) Refrigerator

PRESERVATION

Sky of Cloud only

first blush turns Florescent Pink

unexpectantly

Curtsy

My sculpture melted —

Dance Demonstration Request:

He told Me “Curtsy”

“If Joanna Had A Man”

If I had a man

I could have a Barbeque

 

If I had a man

I could have an extra shelf

in my linen closet

 

I could have the baseboard

replaced

in my Ex’s old library

 

and if I had a man

I would have a pickup truck
