that’s what i said!
right now we are both chit-chatting. are you sad? do you want me to take that further?
well, after a week, mine came back. sorry about yours. the cat was in the picture, not really in the poem at all. shows you what a close reader I am.
yeahyeahyeah i was wondering if there was something in my words about a cat, but i couldn’t find it the longer i looked, but yeah it was about a cat and i did cry for real. yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah.
My cat disappeared. I keep the window open, open a cat food can outside every so often, walk around the neighborhood yelling kitty kitty kitty like a goddamn fool, sniff at the bushes for the smell of death. I don’t know if this poem is metaphorical or actually concerns cats in some way, but I’m counting on the last line. Incidentally, I also tend to like your stuff but just don’t have much to say when I read them.
superb…i like all yer stuff
