The Cat, Upon Meeting the Dog for the First Time
You seem harmless
to the people here -
but they do not know.
They do not know
That as I pierce your canine eyes
flexing
never blinking
I carry in my veins
The blood of a million murdered cats.
My ears percolate
and listen to your innocent breathing.
I can hear their dying screams.
You seem harmless
to them -
But I know you better.
