The Hawk Basement Exercise Room 10:38am
On My C2 Rowing Machine

Open
I breathe in The Air

Cracked —

& I don’t even care
if The Roof of My Mouth
goes dry
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 2:22pm

My Sacred “Life” Glass
into the Styrofoam packing case
housing the arrival
of My New Concept 2 Twenty Million Metre
ceramic coffee mug
from which I am about
to take
My First Drink:
EYE DID IT!
TWICE!
October 18, The Hawk Living Room 6:30pm
When I hit

& Hunter snapped a picture
forever declaring in that frame
that I was Howard
