Old Cat Friend
from #AncientTexan · host #AncientTexan
Two months ago her bar closed down. She slides the ring across the counter “How much? It’s a real diamond. Got it before that bastard left Back when he still held my hand.” Patting her ass When this is my only asset You’ll give no more than Ten cents on the dollar Hardly enough for a good meal . I’m moving in with a guy down the road Corse, it is still up in the air I've no aces to play And all the options of the have-nots. The guy agrees it will be better Only one rent left unpaid. Perhaps I will get a pizza with this pile of cash See how it goes with the old fart And his potbelly dog He has two bedrooms And a single TV. Of course, it could be the other way The other way around. He talks about gettin wireless soon And knows where they serve lunch In a Methodist church. On Tuesday afternoon. All my clothes in a few brown bags In the middle of an empty kitchen Leaving behind my pots Cause he has enough And doesn’t want his stuff getting mixed up with mine. I’ll let the old cat out He came with the house the old man says his dog Will not abide by the old puss. She shakes the knob And stares back through a window At what is home no more And glances at the keys on the counter And remembers the cat’s milk In the fridge door. She walks away, arms full, head down, Leaving behind her only real friend Her neighbors all sheltered in place With even their pets safe inside. Roe April 2020
