paws

This one is for my cat Jack who I miss and love very much. May the coyote that killed you suffer much pain forever. I hope that you enjoy this, and, of course, don't steal. <3

i like to play with that edge
between life and death
spent all my nine
lives,
but i'm still reckless
never could stand
sitting still
need that thrill that adrenaline rush,
and maybe i won't make it until
i'm thirty
maybe i'll live to be one hundred forty five;
the world is full of so many
possibilities,
and my curiosity mounts always
i always have to answer it's beck and call
can't rest until my mind is
satisfied with all the
answers
fatal flaw or
my greatest asset?
i don't know, you tell me,
asked my dead cat
if he knew where the wild things were
he showed me the paws of nine
lives, but said no more like
me he was never much
of a conversationalist.
