Fred Aiken Writing

my cat keeps following me around,

I think she’s planning something,

maybe reporting back to my wife

all the gross things I do when I think I’m alone,

or maybe she thinks I don’t have any friends

and feels like she needs to be my pity friend,

or maybe it’s because I seem to be able to tolerate the smell of her cat poops

so she figured I might be ok after all, I can still stay

in her house
