TONIGHT IS THE DAY
You’re a man on a boat
But before that you’re a child
On your way home from school.
Want to smoke a joint?
You imagine yourself smoking it
Walking to your house
Where you were sent to live.
You register the sky
The way it smells.
Suddenly there’s no time to get home
And then, there’s only time.
Living on a boat sounds wonderful
For a couple of weeks.
Until your brother drowns.
On a Tuesday you reach
The west coast.
Now every day there’s sun
And every Saturday
You eat bánh xèo.
