Tomorrow

Mardi Gras beads

hang from the rear view windows

celebrate one more day

it’s Fat Tuesday

tomorrow will be back

to normal

no excuse to drink too much

put ash on forehead

start forty days

tell a story

one for each day

each tomorrow

After Fat Tuesday

I want to stuff myself before I fast

fatten the calf before the sacrifice

take pleasure in what will soon be forbidden

when the rations come I will be ready

prepare myself from wanting it all to have nothing
