Poetry: Repeating history

by Katley Demetria Brown

Created on: May 05, 2010   Last Updated: May 23, 2010

A large Russian Blue

stares down from the shelf

while

his humans make love

the man is distracted

by that wise feline stare

he says to his woman

get that cat out of here

the woman replies

he's just a cat

he doesn't know

what’s we’re doing

he's fixed!

reluctantly

she carries

the feline voyeur

to the other room

shuts the door

but it’s not the same

without him there with

those big green eyes

watching

the humans proceed to 

go forth and multiply

while kitty dreams of

voluptuous furry females

in heat

Life sucks, doesn't it?


Many years later

kids grown, Russian Blue

long gone to that

great litter box in the sky

the tabby sprawls on the bed

gazing at the man and woman

about to repeat history

same act different year

the man says,

he’s staring at us

remove him!

the woman says

what does a cat know

about carnal pleasure

his presence is OK by me

why does he bother you?

the man says

he knows more than you think

it’s his eyes

so the woman carries the

kitty to the

other room

remembers the Russian Blue

who looked down from the shelf

and she sees history

repeating itself.
