The Day Before Thursday

by Lucy Pagerey-Grey

it’s funny, really,
to look at the mountains…
to just think about
looking at mountains
when you are inside a building
sitting next to a calendar
with a watch on your wrist…
to remind yourself that
tomorrow is thursday,
perhaps the thousandth thursday
you’ve been around here
looking at mountains
and buildings and calendars,
thinking about them, and
thinking about yourself
thinking about them.
