It creeps to the open door stops at the threshold
waiting for my shoo! ?
salt and pepper kitten
adolescent probably left to fend for itself
mother human
irresponsible
letting it roam
across the six stairs at 3am from who knows where
notebook covered lap pen in hand
does it wonder what that is exactly
does Q need a companion
am I meant to invite it in and give it home
cat paws on countertops
sand box of ammonia
edge of sofa
scratched
there is no meant to there is only choice
I choose shoo!
