Poem
SHRIMP FEST
I am an ocean
A cat remembering
Wonderful days
Of predators
And fancy feasts
You remind me
Of the Beatles
Lennon and McCartney
at the piano
a promise of
Inspiration
I wish I were sober
Enough to write this
I have slept
Through this before
an ocean
Swelling
swirls
Of anticipation
I miss this
I am an ocean
A cat remembering
Wonderful days
Of predators
And fancy feasts
You remind me
Of the Beatles
Lennon and McCartney
at the piano
a promise of
Inspiration
I wish I were sober
Enough to write this
I have slept
Through this before
an ocean
Swelling
swirls
Of anticipation
I miss this
