house cat
not pet.
in window i sneak,
i see me alarmed
in glass, i ponder
the swish-locks they arm
not people!
inside,
not them, like me,
not scattered outside
no food for them waiting,
no fence for them pacing,
no kind of invading,
how come? how go?
see pet.
where found, i climb
in flurry, i bound
but they can't have
me,
not pet.
Written from a sad place.
