Cat Angel In Incheon

Cat Angel in Incheon

Walking down the park at night 
In my suburban Incheon Korean town 
I encounter yet again 
the mysterious Korean woman
dressed in white feeding 
eight cats who surround her 
eating their dinner in silent communion 

She is feeding them 
as she does every single night 
she is the cat angel of Incheon

she takes care of the cats 
every night 
there are hundreds of cats 
all over Incheon who are alive 
because the cat lady Angel 
took care of them 

I don't understand the cat angel
because I don't understand cats 

As far as I can tell 
cats are alien creatures 
from another universe 
who are here spying on us
 perhaps preparing for the ultimate invasion

 they are very strange creatures 
and why some people spend so much time 
taking care of Wildcats
almost worshiping these strange creatures 
 
well that is beyond me 
because I'm not a cat person
