catshipgrin III

A Poem by A.M. Nelson

cat and checkers,
she,
the feline, arches back
falls onto red
square,

 

communist.
 

*
as the marxists laugh
moist heartedly at the
objectivists who have
forgotten them in their
wallets.

 

while, over on the
other-side of things,
miss piggy watches the birds
sail off into the
apocalypse.

 

with a grin she mirrors the cat
who is shrieking now about
checkmate,
lumpy gravy is spooned onto
the board,

 

[life is given meaning.] 

 

meaning aside,
cat. hip.
wears beret,
for all the cats
to see

 

attempts grin out from
botoxed whiskers,

 

struts
onto a pale
deck full
of kings and
queens
but fails
to notice the
joker,

 

throws her over.
