Catnaps - Alphabet Soup
remember when i told you to
feed your dog
alphabet soup if you wanted him
to speak he was
a husky with one blue eye
and the other brown like dirt on
the ground
he used to terrorize and chase
my orange tabby
until we fell off the bed onto
the carpet laughing
i watched you turn into a whisper
and i wanted to hear you so i
thought i'd come closer
you told me that when i grow up
i'll be just like my mother
i think you thought it'd be
insulting but why's it so bad to
smother
everything
and everyone
you love with affection
remember when you said that you
liked poetry
you had a bad habit and it
forced you to condense things
you made sure your words never
left a trace
you prayed they'd slip through
cracks on sidewalks and holes
in lace
you were 10 years old when you
were in a state spelling bee
you misspelled Antarctica and
you said it was embarrassing
you knew your parents would
never let you live it down
you walked away from the podium
tears staining shaky hands
i didn't mean to make you the
receiver
of my miseries now you're
thinking how can i leave her
i didn't mean to make you the
receiver
of my miseries now you're
thinking how can i leave her
i didn't mean to make you the
receiver
of my miseries now you're
thinking how can i leave her
i didn't mean to make you the
receiver
