CAT
The only role in my life left
for anyone to play
is cat.
A whole bunch
arriving
too late by far
to be in time to
make the audition.
So
being
true to their species
came
up with
other ideas
Ubered their little
selves to my wake
took
over
the place
devoured the
whole spread
everything
on a
saucer or plate
in a bowl
or tureen
sad
that someone
had passed, but
hey, miao,
what the hell
this, most
definitely was
a gig
not worth
missing
