DEAD CAT


Stop.
God, stop it!
It�s nothing to get worked up over.
It�s no big deal.
It�s only a dead cat
poisoned
on your bed.


Yes, all right, sure,
It was placed there.
Clearly, there was intent
and I think the cat�s been rotting for a while.
It�s disgusting
and it should be moved immediately.


But don�t freak out.
Don�t renege on your promises.
Do not betray your courage
over a simple maggoty mammal on your mattress.
It is surmountable.
It is survivable.
The bed might even be salvaged.


Don�t run.
Don�t flee.
Don�t dare to attempt to escape.
So there�s a dead cat on your bed
poisoned.
and� is that vomit there?
Hey! Where you going?
