THE HAWK DECK SUPPERTIME

When I was 17

I deliberately lost My Virginity

to a French Brooklyn Jew Drug Dealer

–He was 27–

So tonight I’m making home made Pizza

for Eliza & Her First Serious Boyfriend

Who’s just been met

in Port Clyde

by Father, Aunt & Uncle

& Grandparents

& after the Pizza

They’re driving to Yarmouth

to watch “Campaign”

while I run the Dishwasher

PORTRAIT OF CONSUMERISM

Super Store, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia

From Super Store Bathroom Stall

to a toddler:

“Yes, We bought lots —

for Josie, Mom & Dad —

so We won’t run out”

–

By The Dressing Room

beyond open cartons from China & Cambodia

to a little girl showing off Her Dress:

“Yes, that’s a beautiful dress —

hold onto Your Balloon!”

–

On The Deck of Rudder’s:

3 burly fishermen

w/ 2 skinny Japanese fish buyers

& One Gull

Who landed on a table

behind Eliza —

My Seventeen-year-old Daughter

Who rode to Yarmouth

with the latest Vogue

open on Her Lap

–

I came home with a Solid Gold

floor mat

for My Kitchen

THE SUN SETTING IS A CELESTIAL OCCURRENCE

God Made That Peach

or Did That Peach

have The Know-how

To Make Itself?

–

Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?

If There Were Nothing

No One Would Know

& There Would Be No Question

–

Rudder’s, Yarmouth, NS

We are teetering on The Brink

of abandoning God

which We Must Not Do

for then We would Be

Abandoning Ourselves

THE HAWK DECK 8:25pm

Tonight I See

Oh — where did It go?

I See, I Write

an ink blot

White Ink

against a grey page

of Sky

–

8:39pm

Why on Earth is That Sun taking so Long?

It’s preparing to make a Rainbow

— a full arc with rainbow ripples

on The Inner Edge
