2nd Annual Poems About Pets Month
#6
Fast Friends

we put it down
to the tiny one-bedroom
basement apartment 
and the fact that cats
aren't fond of being confined

a friend was over 
who partway through a sip of wine
had his glasses swatted 
from his face
from behind

it was 400 square feet 
of unearthly shrieks 
a stained rug
and next the catty apologies 

a little more wine
and
a little more time 

had them snoring together
on the pull-out sofa
