Flower patterned couch
                   and five un neutered cats
                   Free! Free! Free! Pee! Free!...

My tom cat Jeff was neutered and in that he had no choice

     Now he purrs and meows with a high-pitched falsetto voice!...

There once was a brave son of a gun
Who would pull his own trigger for fun
   He saw a school shooter
   Whom he shot and neutered --
That brave son's gun sure got the job done!...

Popular pretensions
pretend God is faceless
impersonal,neutered and neutral;
No,no-way,no-way they say
believing themselves
this and that;
Anything,everything
something and nothing....

elevated
        motifs
      the
      familiar 
      intimacy
oft 
the
    everyday:
passive
  eternal   
      verging
  on the
     insignificant
yet
  recognisable
   subservient
   self-effacing
neutral
  neutered

Joe was supposed to get Buddy neutered.
They return home without surgery or the cone of shame.


Do you know what neutering means? My husband asks me.
Yes, I do. 
This is why I set up the appointment.

Unfortunately….
I cannot lift either of them into the car....

1.
a tornado's curl
small girl throws sand in the air -
vertical cleavage

2.
combines in a field -
grains of truth escaping hail,
locusts, wind, and fire

3.
hail storm’s calling card
twelve by sixty miles scorched earth –
life's tendrils neutered

Listen to poem:

I shall go hence
back whence I sprung
to shed, disgorge, eviscerate
all that I have ever known
all that I have ever learned
all that I am
all that is me, I be.
A full hard refresh
to be what I could be
untainted, smirched
unbiased, neutered.
Hence to whence
and thence I be,
freely 
impotent....

I recall a time past when my Tuesday was smitten,
(Before being neutered she was my little sex kitten),
With a big one-eyed cat, my orange cat Popeye;
In heat, she walked beside him
With her front scrunched way down
And her butt in the air
And an urgent come-hither look in her eye.

farm cat was jealous of rooster’s harem,
to have harem of his own was his dream,
farmer needed rooster make hens lay eggs,
and he neutered farm cat between the legs

Much serious thought should be given
to the naming of them,
for would we call a Byzantine Emperor
Tiddles, Blackie or Patches,
would we name an Egyptian Pharaoh,
Ginger, Tiger, Tom, or Peanut?

Cat’s are royalty, no less noble
than the Great Charlemagne -
and they know it,
thus it is most essential
that we get the little buggers neutered.

Prevalence,I embrace broken glass  by chance 
I've bend my eyes at the presence eclipse glance 
Prevalence, my surroundings past future pretense 
Eating neutered grass washing hands in warm cactus drenched 
Midnight dartings
Heated snapdragons
Hell bound apprehension...
Midnight calling heated melted iron prevalence?

I've had many pets in my life.
Right now two cats and I abide
In my small house the size for us,
But I can't let this pair outside.
They're feral cats that I rescued
When wild coyotes invaded nests.
Wild coyotes on our rich farm land
Have become real cat-nab pests.

A neutered tom and spayed kitty
Have the full range of my loved home.
Their antics keep me entertained
And none of us now care to roam.
They run and play amicably
And gladly share their lives me.

She has a fever.
I leave her dozing fitfully on the veranda.
Halfway to the woods there is a farm gate
where she will often squat
and piss.
The grass is brown, but still thrives,
strangely adapted to uric rain.
Paris the giant poodle is here,
his nose a rapier seeking past and present.
Several dogs from good families arrive
to vie with each other
in search of her ‘wherefore art thou?’
Tragically, Romeo (a bulldog neutered last week),
today plays alone
with his squeaky bone....
