the little black cat
is
old
retired
he still has big round kitten eyes
he flops onto his back like a puppy
he
folds
his
paws
he looks like a baby seal
he looks like a bear cub
he looks like a vampire
when
he
leaves
his teeth poking out
he looks like an empty
hot water bottle cover
he looks almost like a perfect triangle
from
the
back
or a furry dusty traffic cone
and when he forgets to pull his tongue back in
he
looks
very dim and special indeed
and
i
regret all the times
i
called him something bad
in
my
irritable
misunderstanding
distracted
human way
