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
