The Stewards of the Earth
Bite the tail in front
shuffle the feet
bite the tail
shuffle the feet
push toward the food
bite the tail
kick the one biting the tail
push to food
bite the tail
The Stewards of the Earth
push buttons
food flows
push to food
the machines whir
A door opens
The light slips in.
The door closes
Think out of the box
they all say
there are some of us who
yearn for the box
because it’s lonely
out here
for the little boxes all
have nice people
in them
and there are
flowers
and children
playing
as we are playing
and I am playing the poet
and I am serving you tea
in this make believe cup
I say, “It was terribly cold this December.”
and it’s time for
your character to speak
“It was so cold and I felt so boxed in.
but
the winter chill is on the outside of the door and the cat seems content.
The family sends love.”
When I was 12 my father died.
It took several years before my mother dated.
Our cat population was really out of hand.
Females had females.
My mother was dating a Drill Sargent.
He decided to take care of the problem.
He decided it was time that I was a man.
He decided I should shoot a kitten.
I can still see it.
He succeeded.
For my dear friend, Seymour Shubin who shared a similar confession.
