on alligators

as north korea gets closer to the end
i worry about my cats - i should worry
about my kids but i don't - i know how
ok they'll be - but my kittens where
will i take them? everyone is allergic

all these cats, theses dogs - misplaced
it's easier to think about cats and dogs

and alligators

than such social isolation

and how my son will be when the world ends
