Mikaela Castledine #55 Tuesday

Tuesday
i
When you pack a basket
with three parts of an eagle
tools
water
and a vegetable curry
you know today
it will be you
the odd person on the bus

ii
Crossing the road to
the children's hospital
a small boy asks
are you a nurse?
are you a doctor?
I have a lanyard with my face on it
and the eagle certainly
looks in need of medical attention
I'm an artist I say
it sounds unconvincing
even to me
but there it is
written right under my name
