The light of morning
Draws open heavy eyelids
Trembling fingers
Wipe away the crust from their corners
A half-lifeless body wondering
If there’s enough water in the world
To kick these kidneys back to life
Wait a second
Forget all that
Where the fuck did this cat come from?
Engage checklist
Awake and cognitive?
Check
In my own bedroom?
Check
Cat with a collar that doesn’t belong to me?
Well that’s not good
Check
I’ve kidnapped a cat
