Hughes in Vancouver

It's 1973
and Howard has not been seen
in public
since 1968.

Mormons have protected him
from the baleful public eye
sheparding Howard from
his Las Vegas casinos
to Salt Lake City

and now to Vancouver
to the Bayshore Hotel
a whole floor
overlooking Coal Harbour -
seaplanes, ferries, world's biggest
sulphur piles
sunshine and rain, simultaneously.

Howard Hughes looks out and says
"Let's not black out the windows here"
and Mormons reply "Mr Hughes,
the TV stations will send helicopters,
The Press, Mr Hughes" and
tinfoil covers all the windows

and Howard Hughes
is never seen again.
