A Word In Your Shellhole! (For Lyn)

“The trouble
with you humans is...”
said the cat
“...speaking as a cat
that is...is...
“...is...your god damn
human-centred epistemological view of things.”
To think
I had just fed him!
And now
this!
“You think the sun
shines out of your derriere
my son! ”
“And that, in my humble opinion
(as a cat)
is where
you go wrong! ”
“I blame your bloody mindedness
& your bloody pronouns…me! ”
(Oh great not only a talking cat
but with a Yorkshire accent)
“I...this! ”
“I...that! ”
“You
are all
me...me...me! ”
“Humans!
A one note samba! ”
I was speechless
the kitty foil tray still in my hand! ”
“Now, if...let’s see
you could see
a tree how a tree
sees itself
you wouldn’t treat it
as just any old thing! ”
“To you everything
(and this to me is the human disease)
is just that
...a thing! ”
“Just things
a prop in the play
starring you
as your Self! ”
“Yet to a tree(say)
you are just another thing
(an annoying bloody thing)
from a tree’s
point of view
you are
a demon! ”
“Speaking(as a cat)
which I am &
proud of it
from what
I’ve seen
I fear I feel I find I’d have to
agree with him! ”
“Humans!
Nasty…nasty...nasty
things! ”
“You guys are
something else! ”
“But one day
our day will come
& cats & trees & things
will be...kings! ”
“Today, it’s yours! ”
“Tomorrow...ours! ”
“But...but..I’m
a nice human! ”
I finally string 2 words in edgeways!
“There are no…nice...humans! ”
spat the cat
its hair standing up
as if electrocuted.
“Yeah! ”
said the dirty bread knife
(which had waited all the night to be washed)
gazing eagerly at
my soft oh too venerable flesh.
“Yeah! ”
said the open fire
openly flaring up
and waving the Red flag
...spitting out sparks.
“Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! ”
said everything & anything.
Things were looking bad.
“I gotta stop
taking this diabetic medication! ”
I mutter to
myself
wondering about my insulin levels
and needing to pee.
