Poem 94: Lives of Kitties

Do you like kitties?
I like them
and I say this
with

a lot of
surety

very much

but so many times
they have to die
blerff
am I right

Poem XXXV: HOW TO LIVE, FINALLY

the expense of spirit
is a waste of mojo

it is imperative to invest that shit wisely
shun that heaving!
skip to the dream

speak no meaningless words
in conversation speak
no idle sentence
to numb the time until you are alone again

don't watch tv
tv is just a bunch of assholes eating hot-dogs

there are less concrete abuses, but
in all the world
there is no slighter return

Poem XV Neo Catbus: Feles Improbus et Aegrotus

I'd like to tell you a little bit
about my gato peligroso:
first off
he is loco en la cabeza
he is a nuisance and a hazard
with his busy paws
and inquisitive claws
he is a lunatic and means to seize power

he hath a perennial head-cold
his habitual sneeze
covering everything in sight
with his perpetual discharge
above all he cherishes the taste
of human flesh

yesterday he drew blood
from Augie's leg
in a dramatic ambush

the children fear him
the goats won't go near him
Argos is over him
Molly adores him beyond measure

I don't know what his problemo grande is
but you have to admit
for being such a total pendejo
he's got panache.
