The Hawk Dining Room 10:38pm
Lil’ Miss Joanna Banana
carried Her Bunch of Bananas
to the front check-out at Sobey’s
but only One Line was open
& It was full
Lil’ Joanna Banana was in a hurry
so She thought of The Other Store
& put The Bunch back
(She thought of stealing a single banana for breakfast
but Lil’ Miss Joanna Banana was too honest)
She exited Sobey’s in Her 2004 Escape
& drove to Martin’s No Frills
where His Logo is a Bunch of Bananas
so Lil’ Joanna Banana picked out a bunch
(& One to eat in The Car)
She didn’t have to wait at the check-out
She clutched Her Bunch
against Her Dressy Knee-length Black Spring Coat
and walked along The Front
of The Yellow & Black
Store Front
The Hawk Dining Room 2:22pm
In My Sleep This Morning
One Line came to Me
but I was too tired
to write It down:
“My Love Is As Deep As An Unsung Well”
Here It Is Penned
At This Time
while I spoon My Christmas Turkey Soup
out of a big black cup
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:00am
I sit inside a purple room
the chamber of a heart
when I close My Eyes
I see iridescent purple
& decide Whose Heart
I’m in
