cats / gods

by Ling’Ling.

cats

we are four meister cats in my apartment
we have an harmonious
feline society

one black, one yellow and two
big white ones
with red beards

i’m the black one
i wear
white boxing gloves,

the red bearded ones
always stink like alcohol
cigarettes

the fat one always smells
like different
lady cats but
we always smell like meister cats
because
we don’t get any lady cats
because
the big cats are
meow hypocrites

gods

when i was
young i had a god.
i raised him
from a little baybe
and he was always with me he never left my
side
and then one new year he
disappeared

and
the village party chief
sent us a bowl of soup made with
his bones
it wasn’t very
good soup
since then i don’t eat
god
anymore
