Thoughts on Cats


In this particular moment
I am annoyed with the cats
Which is not good, since
They own me.

It is their exacting
communication
That is so grating...

The sound of claws on upholstery
The unraveling of my material world
The stench of cat urine on the carpet
Well, I'm pissed off too.

They know I'm annoyed
Small faces at the kitchen door
Round eyes somehow even rounder
Melting my resolve...
