The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:22am
My Ten-thousand Square Foot Painting
still EXISTS
albeit underground
in two unwieldy bundles
somewhere within the confines
of The Orangetown Dump
in Rockland County, New York
where I grew up
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:51am
EYE just hit
22 minutes & 22 seconds
on M(EYE) C2
& have come up
to The Hawk Kitchen Outpost
to see M(EYE) Sea
struck in Silver
YAY!!!
The Hawk Basement 9:46am
M(EYE) Basement Floor
is galactic
I stand above
its stainage
of red & green
with excess sparkles
as The Stars —
trillions of Stars —
EYE couldn’t sweep
Them all up
Eliza’s Room 9:33pm
EYE sleep tonight
beneath the accouterments
of fame
surrounding the lavender corner
of My Daughter’s outgrown
room
it’s tiny — the room
the fame is huge
delineated by My Survival
of photos stretched out and hung
with congratulatory letters from New York City’s Former Mayor Ed Koch
and New Jersey’s Former Governor Thomas H. Kean
for My Painting Self Organizing Galaxy
which spawned 9/11
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
@ Dawn
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:33pm
I will not be burned
at the stake I will be shot
in The Back again
The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:39pm
Giant Foundation
for Me to stand supported
about to topple?

The Hawk Corner Room 1:10pm
My Bed is laid
with The Quilt of Purple Ripples
under an array
of framed memorabilia
in Eliza’s Room
while She is away
messing about in boats
