BIG CAT

BIG CAT

big cat, little cat,
let us not dance around this;
I will touch you regardless,
more than brush your fur

seeing yourself
slink right past me:
                                as if!

little cat, big cat
those eyes at night
I can tell how
keen they are to leopard me

look here
      Mrs Sabre-toothed
all these love wounds
where you nibbled

were it not for love
and due caution
        you could well have
severed an artery

nestled between
your two paws, soothed
by your purring,
all that
is ferociously sweet
about you

me and all my poems
bleeding out

WINDOW

WINDOW

my window open
rain
  thundering down

a bedraggled cat
caught in the downpour
squeezing his
lithe body
through the burglar guards

sometimes it is good
when natural storms
hit epic proportions

takes the gloss of
political storms, global
clashes that lead
to outright warfare

show us
that little in this moment
is worth elevating

our species
lacking the tactics
and strategy
to find peace at all

my window open
the rain still raging

everything thought here
under the shadow
of getting
washed away

THAT CAT


THAT CAT

they all died
all
  are alive

that cat
in the hat in the box always finds itself emerging
forever doomed to
survive

sick to the death at
the, possibility
of this terrible solipsism

having to better believe
it’s a fantastic layer cake
of endless simulation 

nudge me
   if you have a question, feel
you’ve stumbled
upon the meaning

I may not be deceased just
unable to sleep

OBSERVE

OBSERVE

watch this poem
change on you

transform
before your very eyes

splitting
     of pathways, sliding
doors

two
    complete readings
whole new universes
brought into
being

in one
it goes Schrodinger
and the poor little cat
goes completely
zombie
    uncertain whether
when box
is open
it
   lives or
dies; is dead
          or alive

in another
it goes Oppenheimer
heads out
       to New Mexico
wipes

out
half
       of Japan

saw the film; he’s the man

and here you are
in state of
                 superposition

I have
never been super anything

neither
          in faith, nor reason

watch this poem watch
us both observe
