Loading...
he has on blue jeans and tennis shoes
and walks with two young girls
about his age.
every now and then he leaps
into the air and
clicks his heels together.
 
he’s like a young colt
but somehow he also reminds me
more of a tabby cat.
 
his ass is soft and
he has no more on his mind
than a gnat.
 
he jumps along behind his girls
clicking his heels together.
 
then he pulls the hair of one
runs over to the other and
squeezes her neck.
 
he has fucked both of them and
is pleased with himself.
it has all happened so easily for him.
 
and I think, ah,
my little tabby cat
what nights and days
wait for you.
 
your soft ass
will be your doom.
your agony
will be endless
and the girls
who are yours now
will soon belong to other men
who didn’t get their cookies
and cream so easily and
so early.
 
the girls are practicing on you
the girls are practicing for other men
for someone out of the jungle
for someone out of the lion cage.
 
I smile as
I watch you walking along
clicking your heels together.
 
my god, boy, I fear for you
on that night
when you first find out.
it’s a sunny day now.
 
jump
while you
can.
