“Gully, want some bacon?”
“Want some bacon?”
“Say breakfast.”
“Say breakfast. ”
“Brrk Brrk”
(BACON CLOSER)
“Say breakfast.”
“Brrk Brrk”

Eye have 2 ears &
Can listen to 2 clear sounds
If they’re M(eye) Favourites
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 12:45pm
Eye will Not be ruled
By gull nor wondering man
If he wants bacon
M(eye) Bedroom 10:00am
Eye have on M(eye)
Black Negligee
Not worn since M(eye) Husband
Got arrested six months ago–
Too bad no one butt
A BLACK & WHITE CAT
Is here to see how IT
Is accessorized
My Bedroom 6:55am
Gully’s Breakfast
Is On The Rocks
w/ His Girlfriend
They Dine Upon Purina
Kept In Line
From The Sighting of 1 Racoon
The Other Night —
Would The Cats Keep Away
A Racoon Nest
Under The Deck?
My Bedroom 9:45pm
Eye might as well be
Wearing a chastity belt
But for M(eye)nd Lover
The Hawk Corner Room 5:10pm
After trying all day
Eye may not have You eating
Out of M(eye) Hand, yet
This evening You dropped
A long black-tipped pinion
For Me to find in the high
Wildflowers — M(eye) only gull feather
of known identification
The Hawk Corner Room 6:40am
This morning I woke
To the rap tap tapping
At my kitchen door —
Gully got me out of bed
To be fed a hunk
Of chicken fat
From last night’s supper —
I put it on His Rail
Two feet away —
He grabbed it and flew —
The Hawk Corner Room 5:50am
Eye am given peach
Soft in The East, my birdsong
My lyrical drops
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost
12:40 pm
Eye sat before M(eye) Pet
& didn’t wave or wiggle —
Gully’s gaining trust
Which is the key 2 training —
& what kind of person would Eye be
If Eye got close enough
2 grab Him for M(eye) Supper?
