A Day Ago I Found Someone Asleep

Short poem about turning twenty-one.

A day ago I found someone asleep

My body wants to fall asleep

The cat on the couch next to me is asleep

Maybe soon, I’ll be asleep 

I’m staring at the picture of my parents at their wedding

Tomorrow is another wedding

In the near future, my friend will have his wedding

In distant time, maybe I’ll have a wedding

Last night a friend started to drink

In a couple hours, my mother will drink

I haven’t had a drink

On my twenty-first birthday, maybe I’ll drink.
