SURVIVING
What sideways step effaces doom?
This small kitten hidden in the alcove
of an arm - a mutant solace in a tray of kind
warmth. It wasn't always this way, mind you.
Living on....(take your pick, I say)....
the razor's edge, thin ice, a wing and a prayer.
It takes but a moment to disengage the potential :
whatever it can be, alas, will never be.
