It is 5:27 in the morning
Kitty is yowling for attention
She is unhappy with the food in her dish
She wants something different
Something fresh
She doesn’t want the supplement I give her
To strengthen her joints, and her back legs
She is seventeen and getting arthritic
She wants to play
She cannot jump anymore
She does not like to play string
While laying on the floor
I lift her to the window
So she can watch the dark street
