the cockroach diet

I encountered a drenched cat
Waiting outside
a 7/11 convenience store.
As I approached from behind,
The cat crossed the street and
Disappeared into
An alley named after
A flower.
At the door of
My apartment, a
Petrified looking rat
Locked eyes with me for a
Millisecond before scurrying off
To look for its dinner.
One that didn’t
Taste like sawdust.
Tonight, I’m having soup
Sold by the plump
Lady in a rainbow umbrella.
I take my place by the sink
And chomp on the bones,
Both small and large.
