Cat Woman in Vapid Dissolution

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.
—Henry David Thoreau

In all his scheming, the wicked person arrogantly thinks,
“There’s no accountability, since there’s no God.”
—Psalm 10:4

Cat Woman in Vapid Dissolution

I ceased to hear the birds, not
because they aren’t there, but
the tweeting is on repeat.

I ceased to see the magnolias,
gardenias, and daffodils, fooled
by the rolling reels on repeat.

I ceased to see the glittering snow.
It has disappeared. It’s too late
for this year. I shovel serials.

I ceased to see kindness and mercy,
seated on the Almighty’s throne.
Basking in my goodness - worship me.

I ceased to be a human being; stronger
than that. I make the rules, don’t follow
yours; incompatible except with the cat.

I ceased to live my life; I bask in hers,
on the screen-scripture; I know nuances
of her lyrics, every curve, lingering gossip.

I ceased to be
I don’t care who I am
like the cat
