44. a cat in a mask is

covidcat
captures
your fancy
to get you to
pay tension
attend to

your duties
to neighbors
your duties
obligate
tensions
attention

drawn to
appeal to
kids covidcat
stands in the
muddle middle
of the pale
pavement
staring down
a concrete mixing
tick tock
truck

muddling
swirling
germs

this is no
pole barn cat
slinking
this is
covidcat
not viralkitty
no pawlicker

she says
carve me
a sore
a sharp
clawed
sword

covidcat in
her mask
faces you
down calumny
calmly ears
down feline
fever down

needling
neading
you to
understand
that alley rules
are no rules
not rules at all

a cat in a mask
is covidcat
