A dog once asked a cat
If she had ever been in love
A cat once asked a lizard
The same question
They were all drunk
The answer hung over their heads
They couldn’t reach it
The following morning
When the flowers bloomed and
The kids sang their prayer
They took the bus to the office
They were colleagues
In case you were wondering
2.
The lizard lost his tail in a war
Against corruption
He was a serious lizard
He went to the park one day
It was afternoon
The weather was nice but darkness
Was impending
He opened a book
The cat was observing him
From a distance
She approached him with a smile
‘Are you reading poetry?’
‘No, it’s a collection of quotable quotes’
Said the lizard
He was not smiling
He was a serious lizard
He died in a car crash in nineteen ninety-eight
He died in a car crash in nineteen ninety-eight

Sometimes the cat wonders
What if everything happens for a reason
The wafting of leaves, the splattering of water
The beaming of tube light, the passing of cars
The earthquakes and rain
What if everything is premeditated
By a lunatic who has lost his prescription
In a fight with his own left kidney
‘That would make sense’
Said the dog and finished his
sandwich
4.
The dog married early
He didn’t have any job then
His wife was kind
Whom he couldn’t tolerate
They had children
Puppies with little paws and tails
The dog got a job at a pharmacy
God visited him one day
‘What do you want son?’
His voice was deep and melancholic
‘Can you decipher this handwriting?’
The dog showed Him a prescription
‘Sonofabitch’
Since then we are living in despair
