mona
and the watermelon

18 year old cat
Mona
Sleeps off unpermitted
Watermelon theft
Binge

Unpermitted
But allowed
After the fact

And why not?
She loves watermelon
We left it on the table
Over-night for her

During the dark hours
Mona’s collar tag
Clinked-clinked
Against the ceramic bowl

And shortly thereafter
She threw up
In the night

Watch where you step!
