today is the day

nearly every morning

when i woke

up

she'd greet with today is the day

that the sheriff

is coming to arrest you.

it was during

the end of the marriage,

the separation

pending,

waiting on vulture lawyers

for the money

to run out

and have the deal done.

it was never good morning

my love,

we spent a good twelve

years together,

we made a child.

we bought a dog,

a house.

it was never can i get you

coffee, my dear,

some toast or fruit before

you start your day

and go to work.

no.

it was today the sheriff is

coming to arrest you,

and i'd say why.

for what reason, and she'd

say,

just wait, just wait. you'll see.
