Dear Tabby
What do I owe you?
My dignity? Gone.
What do you want?
My pride?
I’ll let you know after I swallow it.
You won’t pass me off
As a victim to your acid rain.
You may be able to
Cover great ground with your poison.
But I have found shelter.
From here, I can watch all the ranks of the outsiders
Outshine you in the final hour.
We like the mud at the bottom of the latter.
So have fun with your sunshine.
I’ll be waiting for the redness.
