My Neighbor’s Cat

a poem

photo by the author

my neighbor’s cat wants to kill me I’m sure

every day she sneaks up every day she stares

unblinking watching me plotting and planning thinking of ways to dispose of me

I think she thinks my garden is hers

I think she thinks many things about me none good

every day she sits in my garden watching while I work watching while I eat

sometimes she’ll sit at my screen door looking in and scaring the life out of me when I walk by

last night in my bedroom getting ready for bed I looked out the window there she was staring back

so I did what anyone would do at the grocery store suddenly I found myself in the pet aisle

buying tuna treats

getting treats for a cat that is not mine cat sorcery it exists I know I’m a victim

now I leave out treats and a bowl of water every day

she snacks away while I hide indoors hoping we can be friends

so reader if I go missing if you don’t hear from me

please question the one and only suspect my neighbor’s cat
