I am The Little
Second Coming of Christ
wearing My Galaxy Underpants
cleaning cat hairs off
The Tomato-coloured Couch
I Am Here & Everywhere
re-defining God, Jesus
& The World
half-dressed
The Hawk Kitchen 6:30
I AM A WOMAN
with thick curly hair
blond in The Sun
I live on The South West Shore
of Nova Scotia
I have a 22 lb Black Cat
I Love
I Love The World
I Love My Self
I Love My Husbands
I Love My Telepathic Partner
I Love My Children
ALL THREE OF THEM
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:03am
I dreamt I was dressed
in a Santa Claus dress
inside a forum of people —
I had the floor
and addressed the crowd
by emphatically stating
“It’s OK for adults to dress up
but Children should never be
lied to.”
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:33pm
I will not be burned
at the stake I will be shot
in The Back again
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:30pm
I’ve swept God under
The Rug
& tidied up My House
I’ve gotten out
the extra chairs
& rolled My Carpet up
I’ve set My Records
in a stack
ready for The Guests
We’re going to have A Party
in My Place
& My House will be
all the neater
with excessive laughter
& dancing faces
where No One questions
Heaven
& has no fear
of Hell
The Hawk Kitchen 7:32pm
The Three Most Commonly Used
Curse Words In North America
are
Fuck, Shit & Jesus Christ
& There Are At Least 3 Very Good Reasons
behind each one
The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:35pm
I have come a long way
since My Son
was born
27 years ago
& I have decided to make
My New Year’s Resolution
early:
NO MORE SIGNIFICANCE
TO SEQUENTIAL 2’s —
if I could stop drinking I can
stop anything —
and I WILL stop The World
when It’s Time
When I first posted Halloween
all three related listings in the comment section
When I looked again
three different poems were listed.
