We worried so much about sticking our head above the parapet,
We forgot the stagnant water underfoot.
We forgot the stages of stalemate
The terror of trench foot.
twas a very nippy morn
a largish frost did cover
our tiny township's lawns

You kiss me while I’m down,
Kick me while I’m still standing.
You’ve got it all backwards,
You’re turning me upside down.

What do I have to do to stand upright?
Thinking on my feet is useless
When all the blood is rushing to my head.
So I keep my eyes on the ground, and I go on.

Legs to the clouds,
Head underground.
None of this makes sense.
None of this is ordinary.

Time is of no essence when you’re always looking down.
Never back, never forward, never right now.
You believe in your own perceptions,
And I am only what I can see from here.
Oh my feline friends
they always choose me
I'm a sucker, yes sucker
for a little cute runt

In days gone by
from the silence of the lost
where no dark storms could enter
they were our brother and sisters
them you call felix domesticus

Only our echo locators hear them now
hear them in their misery .. going Meow
the poor ******* lost in time all because
all because they were kittens at heart
