The Hawk Kitchen 7:20pm

Who wants a stodgy

old bronze bust

when You could have

My Husband’s Beautiful Head

A STUDENT OF COOPER UNION

The Hawk Kitchen 8:19am

I once created

a giant banana popsicle

covered in chocolate wax

It got driven on top

of a car

through Lower Manhattan

one fabulous night

It visited a gay bar

down by The Hudson

to arrive at The World Trade Center

Dangling From My Hem

POWER 2

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:17pm

I Am Writing

With My Black & Silver Pen

In A New Book

Of Black, Power

Black

Like The Hurricane

Approaching Tonight

From The Eastern Seaboard

Of The United States

I Sit In My Wrought Iron Chair

& See Only Fog

No 150 km/hr Gusts Yet

Spiralling Into Our House

But I Am Nervous:

Where Is Self Organizing Galaxy?

On The Minds

Of Thousands —

Soon To Be Millions?
