Sometimes, I feel like
a cat out in the rain.
A big black and white Tom just
trotted by.
Ears back, trying to avoid
the puddles.
Is he angry at the
world; maybe a little sad too?
Was he led away from
his domestication by
his drive and desires,
only to return to
a locked door and
no more love?
Or was he born on
the streets-never held?
Were the elements always all
he ever knew?
It\'s a dog-eat-dog world,
kill or be killed, and this
old boy is still alive.
I don\'t have the
answer to this feline\'s
follies,
but I do know this,
sometimes,
I feel like a
cat out in the rain.
