A Hawkes Eye View ... Sic And Reformatted

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Strangers had come to mourn,

and that mourning

—visiting with the dead—

was the last desperate attempt,

the last chance for gossip

***

JOHN HAWKES

The Cannibal

Footnote

The link to the author shows the cover

of The Cannibal, Mr. Hawkes first novel.

Vis-a-vis the controversy

involving Orange County teenagers

and swastikas,

I am too chickenshit to show

the bookcover which was designed

by Mrs. CarPeo's best friend,

Gilda Kuhlman
