"road kill blues"
by nebulouspotter
I truly didn’t mean to kill you at all
but you kept getting in my way
after all
so I ran over you like a good piece of meat
that’s what I was thinking
while driving in my seat
looking into the rearview mirror
as you were getting smaller and smaller…..
suddenly it dawned on me saying to myself
OH HELL!
I think I made me an error
O’ well …..
so quickly I got out my car and ran not far
quickly grabbed you off the hot tar
because you’re a good piece of meat
my friend
and now
you’re just there laying comfortably on my seat next to me
just because I couldn’t leave you laying on our street like that
so damn flat
so sad
so fat
you were
after all you’re my next door neighbor’s little fat kitty cat
or now you’re jest a dead flat
little piece o’
pussy
cat
I’m about to eat!

Happy 4th of July, everyone! I’m grilling free meat for all my neighbors!
I drew its tail like ….. a squirrel?
Again I say, I love your unique style and structure. You have interesting spacing and description. And by description I mean you described your neighbor’s cat as a piece of meat. I sorta interpreted this as you downgraded the cat so you didn’t have to feel guilty about running the cate over.
Save some food from that party, I’m running out of leftovers from my party yesterday.
First of all, I never ran over a cat. Yes, I have ran over an animal before. Such as …. hmm … let’s see … 3 squirrels, and one young possum … uh, that’s it. And none of it my fault! It was them! Them hyper little fuckers chasing after acorns all the time, and they went little too far into the road… not my fault! And I felt terribly bad about what happened with the baby possum. It was very dark outside and I couldn’t see the poor thing … until it was too late! Yes, it got in my way as I was trying to find the address to the place where I have been invited to join their Meeting ….. uh …. it’s called …. R.K.A. …. or Road Kill Anonymous.
