Independence

When humans run from machine guns & famine, they morph into subspecies called refugees & aliens. They’re denied access, or caged & slapped by nations who flip pancakes for 24hrs & throw unsold sandwiches into trash bins. It’s amazing how silent the ticking clock is. Oh well. At least we finally know where Lebron’s going.

Welfare Mouse

spring sprang
summer doldrums
have began and yet

from the bowels
of our basement
creeps a freak

a should be
a not wanna be
a subspecies

when winter
birds return
so should he

exit and breath
not the moldy
but at least see

the sun and feel
warmth for free
not to be

a household
burden worrisome
running under foot in fright

and god forbid he
ever finds the strike
anywhere anytime

matches
that were
left behind

Iriomote Cats

Iriomote Cats are listed as, critically endangered
They are only found on, the Japanese island of Iriomote
and they inhabit, subtropical forests that cover the island
and they are a subspecies of, the Asian Leopard Cats

Iriomote Cats hunt, amphibians, fish, birds and reptiles
using the genes of their ancestors, to swim and climb trees  
and they cannot retract their claws, but they do attract those flees
Their biggest threat is from vehicles, that cause a fatal impact
