And cats die. They lie on the floor and lash their tails,758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ij77CpPRG
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ54Z1zmzx
With fleas that one never knew were there,758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JXNQ24LH1
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDsZuSsOmw

But you do not wake up a month from then, two months758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjL06RQRwG
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxNJqf1C7G
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2qxfd2DzD

And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3yMgUMUMo
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpaeRUumC7
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9eW7CG8hf
