I'm your Pet


4th April, '09

There he is all paws and claws,
all purrs and romps to fill my day,
biting and scratching the dullness out of life,
as playful as a kitten, like they say.

My body becomes his vast playground,
to climb and scratch and bite at will,
but when he takes his little cat naps,
time just comes to a standstill.

My days are spanned with beady eyes,
a swishing tail and gentle mews,
curtains moving of their own accord,
every move the start of a ruse.

It's an illusion, this ownership,
do you need me, or do I need you?
My little friend, from out of nowhere,
my little cottony bolt from the blue.
