perched on the fridge
the Cat peered down
and watched
i always wondered what it was he saw
i chopped the cheese
a yellow chunk
carved into something new
he peeled the potatoes
brown skin
spiraling into the garbage
when he had finished he said he wanted more
by asking if i wanted more
i had told you already, “No,
I don’t want more.”
but again you repeated repeated re peat ed
the Cat smiled
he knew the game all too well
