Simple Want by Michael Peeters

I want
To be
A cat

A mangy
Furry
Cat

You’ll see
My ear
Is nicked

One eye
Forever
Shut

I bite
And claw
And hiss

And hate
And piss
The world

Is mine,
I claim
But you!

I wish
I was
Your cat

You’d love
Me just
Like that

You feed
Me when
I mew

No matter
Where
I Shat

Or peed
Or clawed
Your precious

Sweater
To rags
So smug

You love
Me just
Like that

But come
To think
Perhaps

I wish
You were
My cat

I’d love
You just
Like that

As well
I’d need
Those mews

I’ll know
That when
Kneeled down

I clean
Your piss
It was

My due
And
Justified

Much as
I’ll find
You sleeping

In
My favorite
Spot

But that’s
O K
That is

Where you
Belong
Where we

We are
One cat
And shit

And pee
And own
The world.

Ingo’s Perturbation by Michael Peeters

First order

Einstein, Podolski and Rosen
can all go to hell.
We are entanglement’s chosen.

Second order

Their poltergeists, their ghosts, their spooks
may haunt across space;
but Friendship creeps up time’s nooks

(unabated).

Asymptotic

We stare down darkness and chaos.
Attracted we fall  
forever for the Sirens of Science.
