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
