trans kitten
I was sitting with
My cat, listening to
My neighbors dog howl
Over and over and over again
The way she does
All day every day when they
Forget to let her in
And I told my cat
“Kitty—
If you were a dog
I would still love you.
But, you’re a cat
So I’ll treat you like a god.
Of course, if I met your soul
As a dog, I would adopt you
But she would still be you
And I would never make you wait
The way these fucking neighbors do.”
