It means to love your children unconditionally and not to give in to manipulation and power plays, on their part or yours. It also means to tell the truth when asked, and not answer with a distorted or mythical pretence. A child’s imagination is beguiling, but a parent’s fear of the truth can be confusing or even dangerous.

I am wearing My Pro-Life Underwear

What makes You look up
in a moment
to see three Jays in the scraggly apple
& then in that moment
to see Them fly off?

Take My Hand
Take My Naked Hand
Hold On To My Left Wrist
& We Will Collect Up All The Galaxies
We Will Pin Point Every Cell
Transform Every Particle

At The Sobey’s Cart Corral:
“In The Event Of An Emergency
Gather Here”
The Hawk West Desk Window 6:45pm
I am Your Black Jesus
sitting @ My Desk
with The Power restored
planning My Visit to Your Office:
shall I address Your Receptionist
Who’s really Your Wife?
Shall I announce My Presence
standing @ Her Desk
declaring My Identity
& My Entity:
“My Name is My Identity”
“My Entity is Black Jesus”
“I am here to see Dr Wilson –”
“but he will not see You, Joanna –”
“He does not need to see Me”
“He needs to see The Black Jesus
& so I stand until He Emerges —
We are in The Spiritual Emergency
of The Millennium”
After I finished painting
at The Former World Trade Center
I wanted to suspend
a full-scale Spider Web
between The Twin Towers
I made a mock up out of brass wire
and hung it on a WTC model in an office show room
but Former Director Guy F. Tozzoli
wouldn’t let Me —
He said He would have to be The Spider
Do My Bodily Cells Know
the acquaintance of My Husband’s?
The Cells all live separately
though We occupy The Same Room.
Do Our Cells Know Each Other’s Bodies?
We smell the same smells
& hear the same sounds —
though when My Husband has ringing in His Ears
do My Ears Know It?
We Don’t Need A Bed
Our Bodies Will Be Our Bed
We Don’t Need Our Bodies
Our Mind Minds
Will Slay Us
