“Grown” by Alison Courtney

my daughter
on the cusp of
her independence
deigns to text me

it’s a photo, and she says
these two grey kitties
might be mine soon!

i am angry because
i thought she
wanted to travel

      I hope not. We already have four cats. My daughter is living with her aunt right now (long story, perhaps a poem someday) and I have no idea what’s going on in her head sometimes. She didn’t respond when I said she ought to reaaaalllly think about taking on two kittens. :)
