i try to tell myself
all rogues have
their near-miss
battle scars...

but still wonder
if it might not
be more appropriate
to pay with my own
little finger to
be fair

One of my cats lost part of his tail last night as part of careless actions on both our parts. His name is Rogue and, though he’s a butthead, he’s often been one of my best friends over the past few years (perhaps the only). I’m gutted about the whole thing and wonder if one of us got off too easy.
