turned on your back
I carry the cat
over to where the roach lies
feet upturned
striking at the air
the cat looks at me
green ovals puzzled
as if to say:
'you took me from my resting place in the sun, for this?'
I apologize
and walk away
kill another beer
and stare at the hole in the wall
Once there was a photo over it
a nail in the hole
but the nail came out
when the woman took the photo
and smashed it on the floor
I step onto bits of glass
from time to time
they clarify any doubts
I may be having
about our differences
another beer
glance over
and find the cat
back on it haunches
toying with the roach
fascinated by
a hopeless struggle
that can only end
in defeat
I throw my beer
at the cat
and turn off
the light
