My landlord gave me two black kittens. Little ***** of fluff. I sent pictures to my sister. She said they have eye infections, and not to use hydrogen peroxide, because it will blind them. The thought never crossed my mind. I thanked her. They are semi-feral, but they are warming right up to domestication. I was like that too. I enjoy my simple life now. Fishing and writing, I take vitamins and clean cat **** off my bed. We are working on the concept of the litter box. I play classical music for them. They like Vivaldi, but prefer Mozart, D minor seems their favorite key. I don't know if they are male or female, all I see is a little pink dot, and they aren't real fond of me looking. Bukowski for a male and Emily for a female. If they are both males or both females, I don't know what the hell I will call them. The bigger of the two is sleeping next to me while I write this. I'll be a *******, he's smiling, or she, while sixteenth notes rip through the burnt umber autumn morning.
