Short Whitey Poems

Cats

Cats can annoy me,
Always beneath my two feet,
Except for whitey;

going home
where I was born
I will see
the empty house
near the field
of weeds and trees
It's where I was abandoned

two bows up and down
                                   a black sun shines in between
                                        from small whitey sky

                                         falls on lover's face 
                               warms up with warmth of hot sight
                                       eye flashes heart's light...

Whitey sitting innocently
Next to the bird bath 
Looking so penticently
You are doing the math

Bathe, well this is a bath
Lick, scratch first stomach
Ears high turning like a rath
Now repose where are the birds

Do you suppose
Scratch, bathe wait
Repose, doze 
You innocently bait

Just one dumb bird
And the feast begins
Birds are not getting the word
Need an email send...

There is a masked bandit in the produce aisle.
This went over the loudspeaker in the grocery store.
It was my neighbor Whitey, who wants to hide his smile.
He has bad teeth, maybe not even one any more.

I use Covid as the excuse, he told me one time when I thought to ask.
I told him I would love him no matter what,
They coppers came in and demanded to know about the mask.
The police left him alone, I was glad of that!...

There is a strong correlation betwixt poverty as ailments; especially 
Mental illness although tis quite well known, that such manifest itself
Amid their myriad of countless shall we say, humanistic views ? Images
Captured in celltoid particles; her genies brazen told lamps; three wishes
His jettison's nights ? Short these chapters historia's book; engrossed minds
Skipping past time designed, a child's play ?
