@Vincent: we took in Kitty Boy (found in a barn at Mom & Dads) at 12 years old when my Mom passed away in 2012. He was Mom's baby. He lived a long life.

We then had Squeezle McLove Mufiin (the other tuxedo) walk onto our deck & into our lives on Memorial Day 2018.

Finally last year the little black terror we now know as Drella DeSquirt came around last winter at barely 6 months old. He's acclimated just fine to indoor life.

To Jim:

Iridescent Jockey on Film

Placenta jumping-jacks carved in the Alps.
Sometimes we can almost see their faces. As the female breaches her signature. Vacations from vehicles of skin.

Couch intestines, Bonnet of Light.
Hog's Head Rail Line, hotter than flap-jacks in Hades.

Hermes torched frames. Warped flesh and temples in flux.
Columns of faces and a Cosmic Sea of Peoples. Humanoid foaming forms.

Corny Eskimo with Velcro Face boarding DunceForce One.

Cinematography on pressing fire. Themes on VHS, rewind fishing trip. Something peculiar found.
Silvery shining fish with twisted keys in their mouths. Moth buttons flicker. Amplitude grows earthquake vomit. Vibration home. Bubbles and marbles. Terminal perpetual waxing dynamic effect.

Lemon breath funnel swimming. Streams of peace and gratitude. Honoring trance.
