Poetry

i’m going to declaw you.

i’m going to declaw you.
because for some reason
your claws are relentless.
like worse than your sisters.
she’s got sweet beans,
the little pads on her paws
between the fur–
are almost cuter than her
little cat face.
YOU.
dude you got CLAWS.
they loop like hooks
and are sharp as needles.
you draw BLOOD
every time you sit on my lap.

i’m going to fucking declaw you.
and call it a day on that one.
i’m sorry about it,
you’re perfect in all other ways.
just those claws are done.
