I see a rat
I pounce
I kill
I leave it.
I see another cat
so I strut my stuff
showing off my shining fur
gleaming from my forever cleaning.
I see a window,
way above the ground,
slightly cracked open,
and I know it-
this is my destiny.
I leap
I catch
I scrabble forward
Sliding through the tight space-
but no,
my hip is caught;
the other cat laughs
and leaves me hanging here.
Author notes
This poem is inspired by a picture of a cat breaking into a house by squeezing through the window. Enjoy.
