cat got run over
now silver screw holding together a broken
femur
right leg
bound in bright red
bandage

got cat home from vet’s
took my eye off
him for
a moment

he ran across floor
dragging his red
leg
chasing the female
cat

worst thing the
fucker could
do

he’s in the penalty
box
now
sweating it
out
he’s just like the
rest of
us

he has these large
yellow eyes
staring

only wanting to
live the
good
life.
