It is 5:27
in the morning
Kitty is
yowling for attention
She is
unhappy with the food in her dish
She wants
something different
Something
fresh
She doesn’t want
the supplement I give her
To strengthen
her joints, and her back legs
She is
seventeen and getting arthritic
She wants to
play
She cannot
jump anymore
She does not
like to play string
While laying
on the floor
I lift her
to the window
So she can
watch the dark street
