He gives me one eye, one ear
but only if I raise my voice.
I don't want to raise my voice
but if I don't, his mind drives off
into the backroads and hides.
At some point, I ask myself
should I let him be a gamer, fail
school, pay his dues?
His cat would starve if
I don't feed him. He says
let him hunt mice or just
return him to the SPCA.
Kids can only love so long.
Just ask the cat and me.
