cat glares
a wife from a past life
still mad at me

in your next lifetime
choose to be a cat of mine
you could do much worse

Welcome To Next Lifetime Party

Everyone and every cat

You’ve ever known is waiting

Waiting, waiting in the dark

With presents and a punchbowl,

Giggling to keep quiet

Waiting for you to come home

From a hard eon’s enterprise

So they can burst forth

In the unexpected light

To shout “Surprise! Surprise!”

NEWBORN

Such a quizzical look
On a small round face
As you survey this latest
Incarnation and the extras
Like gravity, marzipan, cats,
And causality. Alas, no one
Lives by writing poetry
But stick around anyway.
