Why Do Cats
Have three names
a nickname
a formal name
a secret name
demand a fuss when they’re wet
sit on your lap when you are just about to leave
sleeping in front of a fire make me feel warmer
but they have no soul said
so denied thereby cannot enter heaven
but promising not to scratch the carpet
still winding purring around St.Peter’s ankles and mine at the gates
forgive me
I don’t want to go into a heaven without cats
