Cat

annihilate me
violate me
take a chance and quiet me
you place yer bets

you takes yer chances

will I fall for your romance

your boneless dances 

or will I jump at the sound

of something amiss

rush to the bookcase

to the the owl beheaded

it needs fixing now

goddamn cat I shriek

you nasty feline

fucking annoying

furred man of my dreams

I’m yours in the morning

I feed you it seems

I’m yours again

when an afternoon read

turns to narcoleptic dreams

stare at me on the toilet

I’m used to it now

slide beside me

deride me

with that furrowing brow

you’re a cat

I’m a human

let’s sort that all now

you’re a cat

I’m a human

I bow, I bow

and continue presuming’

I’m still a human

maybe not forever

but at least for now.
