Existential Cat Poems - “As My Head Was Trapped On The Other Side of the Door”

“As My Head Was Trapped On The Other Side of the Door”

I realized too much,

As my head was trapped on the other side of the door,

All of my life I have been approaching the completion of some sort of goal,

Whether it was becoming a certified accounting-cat,

Or hooking up with pu girl-cats,

I always had something to strive for,

But not as my head was trapped on the other side of the door.

And I saw too much,

As my head was trapped on the other side of the door,

Business-cat orgies,

Kitten-cocaine being snorted off the backs of dead dogs,

These were my bosses,

The men-cats I had striven so long to emulate.

As I finally got more than my foot in the door,

Reached my goal,

I thought I would be happy,

But instead I was trapped,

My body having to suffer as I left it behind,

That’s where I kept my heart…

But what good is my heart,

When I had to leave you behind as well?

As my head was trapped on the other side of the door,

I realized that I should never accomplish my goals,

That too much must be sacrificed,

And that the pursuit is where all the fun lies anyway,

So cat-baby I’m coming home,

That is, as soon as I get my head unstuck out of this tiny hole in the door.

A little help?
