The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:30pm
What if You put into The Hands
of a 15th Century Native American*
Who had no way of knowing there would be
a 21st —
put in His Hands
an unopened, resealable package of frozen
Wild Jumble Berries?
*Who would have called Himself something different
The Hawk Living Room 9:22pm
I have an Alien growing
inside Me — He’s attached
to My Left Lower Ribs somewhere
I feel Him vibrate & tumble
when I sit at a desk
or even in a chair
talking to a friend — no
I have never felt Him
in Other People’s Presence
He is with Me when I am
alone
Public Health Office, Barrington approx. 10:00am
I am no longer in league
with The Aliens
in Their Purple & Black
I wear White & Aqua now
Beige, Grey, Dark Brown
still have My Blue Jeans
& Linen Tops
All My Black Articles
have been tossed —
Eliza took Two Black Garbage Bags
to The Salvation Army
but was mad at Me
for throwing Them out —
Hunter understands
