Introduction

I wrote this poem sometime in college - maybe around 1996 - although the poem was jotted on a slip of paper that had obviously been in my bookbag for a year or two before I "edited" to its current state. In a sense, this is a "found" poem. :-)

This Is Why Cats Have At Least Two Lives

When Earth first purred
and started to rotate,
an enigmatic lad with no name
wrote this poem on feline fate:

My father's father ate
your mother's mother's soul
with a half-glass of milk
and an unbuttered roll.

He carefully cut away
all unwanted fat,
and satisfied with his slice of spirit,
he fed the rest to his cat.
