I jump awake
What time is it?
9:02
Shit, gotta go wake up mom
I walk upstairs
My 2 youngest nephews
Watching T.V.
Not fighting...
That's new
I walk into the bedroom
"Mom, it's 9:05,
How many more minutes?"
"3 or 4?"
"how about 9:30?"
"that'd be great"
I exit her room
"Can I have cereal?"
Sighs,
"Yes, pick out your cereal,"
He points to the one on top the counter
I make his cereal
And go to get my laundry
I pick everything up
Out of the dryer
As soon as I sit on my bed
I realize that
My darling kitty cat
Has been following me the whole time.
I look at him
No meows, no nudges
Meaning that he doesn't want anything
Just to be with me
I present to you,
My cat, Sinatra
Who is oh so loyal,
Fat, fluffy, and loved.
