They each have a unique scent.
Curled up on my chest
I put my head down
and breathe.
Their head rests on my shoulder
as their purrs resonate through them
into me.
I can breathe.
Until a strand of fur flies up my nose
and I sneeze.

The angel misspoke.
Things went perpendicular
before going off tangent.
It was not a calculated risk.
More like a division
between the fractions.
The sum of the experience
gave way to the roots squared
and the heavenly being left.
Stress
Anxiety
Worry
Doubt
Insecurity
Fear
Grief
Philosophy kick.
Not a magazine.
Thoughts in words.
Dangerous or benign.
All asking will you
like me and what I do?

Games played are not always won.
A family with allergies.
A caterer sent to feed them.
The allergen that would kill them
is mislabeled by the parents
as not threatening to them.
So fed to them it is.
All because of one mistake.
So the grandmother must take care of them
until they recover or die.
They did not listen to her advice.
Then neighbours stop by
and also see the devastation caused
and the family offers up sandwiches left by the caterer.
What if that caterer was a disease
and the family people who disliked injections.
Once the neighbours were involved
and they have been made ill too
ask yourself…
Whose to blame for the neighbourhood’s destruction?
The caterer/disease?
The family?
Or fact that they could have prevented all of this
with a simple injection?
Like the advice that the grandmother said would help?
Stubborn people do not always think of others
nor do the others think they have anything to fear.
Not a word.
But it rolls off the tongue smoothly.
I wonder if it is a process?
Or a mere philosophy?
It could be the process of people
finally accepting the truth about facts
and that science does not know all the answers
but is better prepared for reality than
say,
conspiracy theories?
Or it is just a nonsense word made up by me.
Prayers whispered up fervently.
A desire to do good once it is over.
A promise that the good dead will be done.
All in the name of the heavens
should the hammering pain go away.
As the day goes on
the temperature rises.
As the sun continues to rise
the days grow warmer.
As the weeks go by
outside looks brighter and brighter.
As the years go by
we find ourselves in a crisis.
But what do we care
if the world gets warmer and warmer.
Green leafy things.
Fruits of all sorts.
Legumes of the world.
Screams of the vegetables
echoed in the screams of the meat.
We all need to survive.
Which way is more humane?
We all talk about animal cruelty
but is it the ones who hurt or kill them to blame?
Meat fuels our bodies
and I have seen humane ways of killing.
After all, the guillotine was meant to reduce suffering for those who had to be executed.
Still I understand.
Your choices are not mine.
I will choose to respect them.
You look fabulous today.
You are an amazing person.
I love your laugh.
Your work looks great.
Well done!
