Vibrissae (Free verse) by ggawrysi
The street is busy again-
Yellow taxis slide between black luxury cars
Making Main Street resemble a bumble bee.
Starch pressed businessmen read the paper
While bustling women push baby carriages to the market.
I've been relegated to this house for four years now-
Memory of the outside world escapes me.
Since ending up on the doorstep three floors below
I have been warm, fed, and clean
And so I do my part for the family.
When dinner is served I wait patiently for my turn to eat.
When the family sleeps I tiptoe to avoid making noise.
When children look bored I try to entertain.
Best of all, when the man they call "Daddy" returns home from work,
I twitch my whiskers, squint my eyes, and greet him at the door-
Letting him know he is loved.
