she didn't really say hello, she didn't really mean goodbye.
a cat playfully paws at the minute hand, 2 weeks to midnight
CRASH
puppy hit her head again
but the comfort of two felt an iron wall
yet a cat was still there, pulling everything
deeper, deeper, deeper onward to midnight
an all-nighter 3-without-1, with all the fun of a mariachi band
drinks, friends, a spectacle of lights and intoxicating smoke clouds
BOOM
puppy hit the wall again
but the comfort of two felt a blued steel wall
yet a cat pawed and purred and seemed content
with how the minute hand played its dusty cards
a veritable royal flush, reward for cutting their meat and licking gravy
don't worry little dog, your sister is always here to help you through it
...except for Dolly Parton's birthday
