The cat’s got it

pesky thing it is

i can blame it so long as it exists

in my mind as the cause of the problem instead of myself

i must then

blame the cat

that’s got my tongue

that’s made me hold on to everything to avoid making two trips

when i leave you i gather everything in my arms

stuff the space between my limbs with tetris like accuracy

pile it high until i can no longer see what’s in ...
