Heatwave Haikus

Holy shit I am not made for this heat, guys

I AM WEARING A FUR COAT EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR

Here is how I feel about the stupid humans (not my owner, she’s OK, I mean the bald rich ones);

You’re as cold as ice

You’re willing to sacrifice our love

You never take advice

Someday you’ll pay the price

You’re as cold as ice

Nothing I do will suffice

You heat up, heat up

There’s no bringing you down

The world is screaming

You are deaf, dumb, unhearing

Open your eyes, now

Your ears, your heart, our world is burning

All the dreams we have

They mean nothing, if there is no future

All the hopes we have

They will never be, if there is no tomorrow

I’m hot

I’m melting

I have a fur coat that I can’t take off

Please stop taking private jets to your private islands full of private jokes and private jesters

The rest of us are suffering while you redefine the new limits of selfishness

My drunken thoughts (if I could drink)

Oh, but, my dear,

there is no mouse in here!


Even Mr USB Mouse knows

There is no tail without a nose


Could you please quiet down?

I can’t hear myself frown

~

You are my baby

My angel of life

The ying to my yang

The cotton to my bud

The pillow to my case

The spring to my roll

The milk to my tea

The yes to my please

~


I’m sorry, did you say MEOW?

I’m afraid we don’t have any of those right now.

Could you come back again later when the Manager has woken up?

Should be in an hour or so.

Thanks.

Up, up, and away

Far from the milky way,

Here, we have catnip

But not Earth catnip…

An otherworldly catnip

Listen carefully

Blossoming catnip

Evolving catnip

Heavenly catnip

9-life-long catnip

Forever catnip

You heard me

We have it

See you soon

~

WAS THAT A SHADOW?

A BIRD? A PLANE? A BAT? A FAT CAT?

LOOK, WHATEVER IT WAS,

I WANT IT.

NOW.

~

Daytime sucks.

Darkness… now you’re talking.

~

The forest echoes with laughter

The midnight sun resonates with howls

The starlight is my guide, as I make my way through the leaves and weaves and roots

There is still time to change the path

The night sky makes me wonder

What if I was a fierce lioness?

Will I be a goddess next?

Am I one now?

~

MOUSE!!!

That was definitely a mouse.

~

If I had opposable thumbs, I would play the solo from Stairway to Heaven even better than Led Zeppelin.

~

Cheers *holds up shot of milk*

What brings you around these parts?

Your owner scared of losing you, too?

Yeah… me too.

I escape through my dreams to join the other cats here

Hear me out, I’m not complaining at all.

I love my life. It’s clean, simple, easy, everything is brought to me.

But I know there is more.

My owner, she dreams a lot.

She’s not the only one. I love her to bits, but my gosh!

If humans could just open their eyes and realise that everyone and everything on Earth dreams, maybe they would finally stop going to war against each other.

They might even finally realise that their lack of knowledge about the depths of the Oceans, and of Memories, Dreams, and their own Mind… might actually be the final frontier.

Not space, at least, not yet.

Why can’t they get beyond the Moon?

Exactly.

Because they haven’t understood travel yet.

Not like us.

Not like the trees.

Travelling across the Earth without even moving a leaf.

Networks upon networks, wireless before wires even existed.

Astral projection and quantum physics were here and there before humans ever came along.

Anyway.

Time to go home, she’ll be waking up soon.

Same. Seeya soon.
