stray cat apparently
a character in my karma
bites the hand that feeds him
in this case my big toe
when everything was moving along
smoothly him curled
around my feet and me
quietly reading the astronomy
textbooks for the classes
I never took now out of date
like a star just out of reach
the pain of his hostility
woke me momentarily to my own
how soon I fall asleep again
