Alley Cat

once there was a girl with big green eyes yet before the sun was fully seen, (big surprise) someone unfurled the girl- what more- what poor poor innocent soul who suffered the toll some body stole. how sweet it was- remeet me cuz i'm gone. so smart such great potential- starving artist (seemingly essential) make me what you want to see; i'll be whoever, i'll do it with glee, (when i cannot see) i trust you- you lust me- i'm confused until you teach me, burst in, breaching my little brim. no matter, come in! come in! it isn't i who commits the sin- not i, i couldn't even see in. so much for growth, the more sparks, the more it distorts- creates distinct pieces. stored in creases of my skin oblivious, content with the innate terror. i'm a blinking VACANCY- what you see __ whatever you please. sit, stay- shut up & lie complacent; don't cry- don't choke on the chain. nothing in life is fair- come one- come all, ride this- ride that (all the while he sat, cleaning himself like an alley cat)
