a cat is a cat is a cat is a cat by Charles Bukowski

she's whistling and clapping
for the cats
at 2 a.m.
as I sit here
with my wine and my
Beethoven.

"they're just prowling," I
tell her...

Beethoven rattles his bones
in majesty.

and those damn cats
don't even care
about
any of that.

and
if they did
I wouldn't like them
at
all;

things begin to lose their
natural value
as they near
human
endeavor.

nothing against
Beethoven:

he did fine
for what he
was

but I wouldn't want
him
on my rug
with one leg
over his head
while
he was
licking
his balls.
