Mercedes (poem)

Did you hear the neighbor's cat got run over?

I only met it once but she seemed nice.

I guess that's the way of things.

I wonder what shelter they got her from,

all those years ago,

if it was nice.

I guess that's the way of things.

You go to the coffeeshop every Wednesday and,

you know,

there's people you see there every week

with their own cats at home.

I wonder what the view from their front window looks like,

if it's nice.

I think it's nice that things have a way,

even if the cat was named Mercedes

for eight years beforehand.

I wonder who sold the driver the car,

if they were nice.

I wonder what the back of their front door looks like

and what their cat's name is.

(anyways)

I wonder if they'll name their next cat

"Peacefully-In-Her-Sleep"

or if that's too wordy maybe just

"Happy".

That would be nice, I think.

Good name for a cat.
