Chill
that cat scratched you, boy
she watched infinity on TV, looked up
and you believed her
she tied your hands, stole your speech
plowed you under
and blind, groping for your place in linecat turned tail on a dime
purring "a pity you hate your world"
while by licking
and sticking hot flowers on windows
she decorates hersthere you are, little boy
left stunned still in the snow
your speechless drunken prayers failing, falling
freezing downyeah, that cat gave you fever
and this is the chill

This is amazing!
@godfatherofgreenbay - grrcats.
Cats is bitches. Next thing you know, she'll puke on your favorite blanket and stare at you thoughtlessly as you mourn its momentary loss. Oh, not literal? Maybe I'm not either; just making a commentary on the lack of security left to us.
@Automaton_Emotion - she did that already. i hope my dry cleaner can get it out. literal enough?
@LadyMira - thank you.
@complicatedlight - I haaaate that.
cats like women. I prefer dogs

@Writing_the_Tides - yep. i've got her right where she wants me.
@be_the_rain - @Amoralis - muchas gracias.
Cats are trying to kill us all. When they follow you around the house, they're memorizing your routines. When they knead you, they're checking for weak spots. And when they purr and rub against you, they're just trying to throw you off your guard.
Singularity? Psh. More like CAT ATTACK.
Ahem...well, then. Lovely poem!
@Le_Ravin - you don't know how good that made me feel. thank you, twidge. big hug.
i'm bored. do a science post!
Bukowski would have said it much better than that.
If you could get Howard Stern to set this to music and Dashboard Confessional to sing it you might break into the big time.
What more is left to say? I love you with this =)
this made me smile. favorite line, "Pity you hate your world."
great! no really, thanks.
This reminded me of a story from your University days : )
@storyslut - i've got a million i tells ya.

@Mushmommush - thank you, you poet, you.
@oldnog - cheering? for my poor catscratched soul? *owh*
