Please note, I wrote this poem in 1985. Fuzz has been gone a long time. I only recently tossed the last of my paperback books that he had chewed the edges of.
Listen to poem:
What makes man not an animal?
His sense of future I say
What gives man all of his courage?
forseeing his dying day
What makes one man good and another bad?
Its all subjective and unclear....
What gives life to the living
and death sometimes to that I hold dear....
I gave a friend a burial
just this week last
He wasnt a human friend
A cat, none the less
He had no sense of the future
and little of the past...
For him life was for living
Even though it went by him quite fast.
I miss my friend the cat.
