My cat’s timing is
impeccable.
I’ve been slothful
with writing lately,
and the cats play
the antagonist.
I sit in my
favorite chair and
put some Vivaldi on.
I’m determined to write.
As soon as I pick up
my notebook and pen,
the black one with
the white spot on
her neck jumps on
my lap and bites at
the moving ink pen.
Her sister chases
imaginary bugs on
the coffee table, and
knocks over a slim
glass of water.
She runs away.
The newest edition to
my cat family is a
large tiger stripped
female that is
currently trying to
avoid the puddle, while
she bats at the
leaves of the fig tree.
I bet Bukowski
didn't have to
deal with this shit.
On second thought,
he probably did.

Lol. Thanks, my sweet Teddy.
A poem that feels so familiar and At home. Nicely written, Thomas.
Thank you.
That’s cats for you. Fickle they are. We have one. Kisses and snuggles one minute then draws blood the next. Rules the house and our dog three times her size is terrified of her. Love how you can take the very ordinary and turn it into something special Thomas.
Thank you so much, Cassie.
He chose to keep the cat that’s it after love a little crazy. Maybe I pictured John Steinbeck, but he had Locust instead of the cat so you got the better deal I’d like the description in this case it was nice.
Thank you, my friend.
