sunday morning

you wake up
one morning in a strange house.
a woman
is sleeping
beside you.
there's a dog
at the end of the bed,
children
in the other room.
there's a picture
of you and this family
that you don't know
on the dresser.
your clothes are in
the closet.
you look out the window.
a neighbor waves
and says your name.
you've never seen him before.
your wife, this woman
you don't know
opens her eyes
and says hello, good
morning. kiss me, she
says, so you do.
this is how your life
begins.
you accept it
and ask her what her
name is.
