HE LOOKS LIKE



the little black cat
  is 
  old 

retired

he still has big round kitten eyes

he flops onto his back like a puppy

he
folds
his
paws

he looks like a baby seal
he looks like a bear cub
he looks like a vampire
when
he
leaves
his teeth poking out

he looks like an empty 
hot water bottle cover

he looks almost like a perfect triangle
from 
the 
back

or a furry dusty traffic cone

and when he forgets to pull his tongue back in
he
looks
very dim and special indeed
and

regret all the times
i
called him something bad
in
my
irritable
misunderstanding
distracted
human way
