Excerpts


Excerpt

Socializing

A cat friend visits.

I swat him anyway, just

For principle's sake.

You are my best friend,

Person Allergic to Cats.

Let me shed on you.

I think that the new

Kitten makes a fine punching

Bag and trampoline.

You may call it "a

Lot of yowling." I call it

Singing to my friends.

I grope under the

Door with a splayed paw; I know

You're in there. Come out!

We meet outside; I

Startle. You're out of context;

Go back inside, please!

Visitors come. They

Coo over me. Ignoring

Them, I wash my rump.

Your friends seem nice: calm,

Attentive and kind. So when

Are they going home?

There will be canine

Parts missing if that dog gets

Anywhere near me.

I hide under the

Bed. I don't want to be friends.

Take that child away!

You want to cuddle;

I don't. No offense meant, but

Right now you bore me.

I yowl to the moon;

I am king of the night. Hear

Me and weep, Fluffy.
