TOMORROW
sometimes
I wake up
in the morning
and wonder
what day it is
but I always know
that the next one
is tomorrow

PIGS
although Anne
is twelve years
younger than me
we were both born
in the year
of the pig
which I reckon
makes us both
piglets
Anne collects pigs
which is maybe
why she hangs out
with me
and why
maybe one day
I'll find myself
hanging on her wall
like some kind
of bizarre trophy
