Some Other That

I am in this place
and you are in that.
I suspect you are in a different place,
one I have yet to recall, or visit.

Same goes for my dog, but now and again
her wet nose in my ear wakes me up
from a troubled sleep.
Same goes for the mean snake slaying Siamese cat
that scratched me to pieces.
I reckon that it still exists in some parallel universe,
still craping on some other
poor son of a .

Today I am on the doorstep of
of a Thai restaurant - I think I once lived in Thailand,
but it could have been this other person,
someone who lives in another dimension,
a place just a smidgeon from my left eye.

Sadly then you may have reached the end of the line. It would be tough to improve on your poetry skills.

Thanks, Richard. I guess I will keep reincarnating until I become better at this poetry thing!

You make a good case for reincarnation.
