Insignificance
Like the old lady next door
you know
the one who feeds all the neighborhood cats
you’d never notice I was missing
until you see my newspapers piling up
and the old pie tins sitting empty
and the cats meowing because they’re hungry
you’d never notice I was missing
until the postman can’t fit any more
Home Shopping Network boxes on my porch
and can’t close the mailbox door
because there are too many Domino’s pizza coupons in there
you’d never notice I was missing
until you started to smell
my decomposing body
or maybe you wouldn’t notice
because you don’t notice me when I’m there
i’m part way there azzittizz … and yes, the cats would be angry(er) ~
