day three as a hermit
nowadays
they label this as anti-socialism
first thing to do after getting out of bed
it’s quite a spontaneous habit to
walk to the balcony
greeted by an uninvited guest
sitting in the living room
gosh!!! Who the heck are you?
she didn’t look disturbed at all
I was more like the intruder to her
p.s. apology for the gross-looking settee
it belongs to the management, not mine
threw her out to the balcony
no.. I mean gently, slowly carried her out
that’s the best spot in the whole flat
not to mention the pool-side view
I always imagine myself sitting up there
with laptop on my lap too
provided that nobody gonna call the security
thinking that I am about to commit suicide
that’s just a temporary solution
she, nonchalantly walked over to my neighbour’s
soon she would be back in my flat
cat… that’s what a cat is made of
they are just indifference if their presence is
welcomed or loathed
I don’t mean to say that I loath having a cat
but it’s just not my kind of thing
in one of Jason Mraz’s song
he is one of the biggest fan of cat, that’s for sure
drawing parallel between:
are you a democratic / republican
are you a dog / cat person
in other words
if you are a democratic,
you gonna give up being the latter
similarly,
if you are a dog lover
you can’t help keeping a distant from a cat
no cat has been seen in our flat this year
not even Jessica who gave me
such a headache
one of my flatmates has been
spraying some sort of cat repellant
at the barred window where the cats
made their ways in and out as they like it
this was last October
when Jessica gave birth to four kittens of
different genres in the kitchen
goodness
I spotted a familiar face
she could be one of Jessica’s kids
who is back on a mission
there are quite a few possibilities
one, she is back to generate the 3rd generation
at where she was born
home-coming sort of thing
two, she wanted to seek a revenge
since we threw them out
well… I guess we kinda did
we, all the residence of the C1-10 unit agreed to
the decision of relocating the kittens
dear kitty
whatever the reason for you to be here
whether you are Jessica’s daughter who
was born here last fall
there are a few things that you at least have to know
first and foremost
I don’t have any edible thing to feed you
because I am living on non-meat products
secondly
I am quite fine with you loitering at the balcony
having a sunbath or afternoon nap
you are most welcome to
but you just can’t resist the temptation of
running into my room, can you?
last but not least
I wish you all the best in your future undertaking
giving birth to kids twice a year
is the last thing you should attempt
say Hi to your mom, Jessica
and your other sibilings
if they really are
her presence in the flat is not missed
but her dedication mother is much respected
wait a minute…
yet another familiar face
this was the fall of 2011
when Jessica first gave birth at the balcony
so you really could be the kid of Jessica?
Class 2011 or 2012?
