ACCOMPLISHMENT!!

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:51am

EYE just hit

22 minutes & 22 seconds

on M(EYE) C2

& have come up

to The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

to see M(EYE) Sea

struck in Silver

YAY!!!

IN THE EXERCISE ROOM

Eliza’s Bathroom 12:34pm

EYE walk a Trail of Stars

mostly black —

from The Utility Room

to M(EYE) Concept 2 —

EYE straddle It

now that It is clean

and the floor

of M(EYE) Domain

is sacred

THE CLOCKS IN MY HOUSE*

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:34am

The Basement Exercise Clock runs fast

but It’s not digital

so I pay It hardly any mind —

The Clock On My Oven

runs slow

but I check It anyway

any time

when It might say My Magic

Numbers

like The Satellite Receiver Clock

beneath the TV

or The Computer Clocks

or Phone Clocks

Clock, Clock, Clock

so I move

through

My Motion

watching The Monitor

on My Rowing Machine

as I automatically wind

My Open-heart Bulova

on My Right Wrist

* My Husband has His Father’s Mantel Clock

in His Library but He never winds It.

EYE AM NO APRIL FOOL

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:38am

I row to Trance Electronic

Trance Tremors Radio Stream

downstairs in My Exercise Room

&  each time I finish one session:

5,000 metres

3,000 metres

2,000 metres

I pull My Self

along The Staircase

back up into

90’s On 9

Sirius XM

EVENING SCORE

The Hawk West Desk Window 7:30pm

The murky sun of twilight

sets on My Sleep Deprivation —

I did row this morning,

My 10,000 Metres

but that was due to hype

more so than a proper night’s rest

& I hope as I have taken My Pills

two hours early

that I will resume

the normalcy

of sleep

EYE HAVE A LIMITLESS MIND

The Hawk Kitchen: 9:59am

If Trump doesn’t make it

that won’t stop Me

EYE have a limitless Mind

& I will row

to M(EYE) Destiny

JUMPING THE GUN

Clark’s Harbour Red & White 6:00pm

I just ordered a sodalite ring

to make Me feel better

It’s coming next week

when I will have begun

My Concept 2 March Madness Challenge

when I will be rowing

10,000 metres a day

for the muddy month of March

& I will earn

My Power Ring

& I will wear It

proudly

OFF DAY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:22am

No rowing today

It’s snowing & I prefer

to keep My Feet up

with a scraggly cat by My Side

looking out to My Beloved

scraggly apple, scrub spruce

complete with the occasional crow
