F**k you, I'm a cat

By, Wendiann Alfieri

The day opening to our warm sun

The sun smiles at everyone

You get up stretching

Your muscles ache

You twist and turn as more you wake

You roll over, a hand to put on your lovers head

To kiss them good morning

Before they leave for work

Except

they are not in bed

You blink away the rest of your sleep

mood fuel starting to deplete

Oh yeah, they had to leave for work early

BANG

A crash from the kitchen snaps you out

Of the glorious moment you quickly forgot about

You rush to the kitchen in nothing at all

You don’t change

Your worried someone got hurt

You enter the kitchen, to see

All the plates were smashed by me

Those cookies you made

I ate

(By the way, they tasted great)

Then barfed onto the only non broken plate

Oh, yeah its not yours

It's one you borrowed from your mother in law

The one she was reluctant to give

You know to her how special it is

Return it you shall

Before you can wash it,

Time is needed for you to chow

There’s your breakfast

It’s like its organic

It came from the cookies my stomach has banished

You’ll be fine

That’s your breakfast

where is mine

You didn’t yet refill my bowl

Except for a whole hour ago

I may have eaten it all

Its a pre-breakfast snack

Got to have my energy

I’ve got havoc to attract

I stretch my back and jump from my window seat

You didn’t draw the curtains for the sun I wished to see

I may have destroyed them

You might wanna turn around

Your bare ass naked facing the window

I’m sorry but I must go

I have to scratch something up

That stupid cat tree you bought isn’t the same

when against the walls my nails scrape

Its noon now and your are at your computer

Hey! Can't you see me? I am running against your leg

This time it doesn’t mean a treat

I want to snuggle

You are clearly busy

This is the perfect time to lay on your lap

Curled up and warm and not going anywhere

I need to take a nap

HEY! How dare you push me away?

Don’t you want love?

You cuddle me

When I don’t want to be

Your keyboard looks nice

Maybe you’ll see m-

Oh damn

These keys? Ah, I can stretch my back

Oh these are fun

You are picking me up off the keys

Oh so NOW you pick me up? Now you want a hug?

Either way, I get attention

Which I love...

sometimes

It's around two, there is nothing to do

I am curled up near a wall

When I see a red dot on the wall

this thing is always around when I am NOT trying to annoy you

I can never catch it

You think it’s funny

Laughing and giggling

What if someone put $1000 dollars for you on the floor then moved it and each time

More money is added and you keep trying to catch it

THEN YOU DO

your hand it goes right through

You see it but feel nothing

It never existed

It’s not a being

It’s an illusion

I am not a kitten anymore, so don’t bullshit me like one

I will end you ‘fore the clock is done
