Alex Lewis - Dead Cat

Dead Cat
by Alex Lewis

I found a dead cat
feasted upon by rats.
The cat opened his eyes-
It was such a surprise
that I pondered if the death was valid
and I pondered if the cat was rabid.
'Leave me in peace.' Spoke the beast,
'Of your problems I'm the least.'
'WAIT! WAIT! LISTEN TO ME! '
Was it time to be or time to flee?
We parted our directions.
I held no objections.

The cat was right.
The Devil took me that night.
