THE HAWK LIVING ROOM 9:06am

I’m sitting on My Tomato-coloured Couch

eating a “croisant”–

Eliza gets mad at Me

for NOT pronouncing the “R”–

She’s off on a 7-hour drive

to Cape Breton

towing a trailer of sail boats

& She’s still 17–

leaving Her First Serious Boyfriend

for 5 days

steering the Escape steering wheel

with Her Left Knee

while She Texts Him
