Walter Murray

Murray is a fine cat Soft with fuzzy ears. Walter is a strange cat Filled with silly fears. Walter is a smile cat Murray is a frown. They are both the same cat Up and upside down. Two of them are one cat Over double lazy. Murray is the sane cat Walt would be the crazy. Beasley walks her both cat Daily with a halter. Often she plays spin cat Walter-Murray-Walter. Walter is a night cat Murray rules the day. Who's the dusk and dawn cat? I can't really say. They are not a clawed cat Tears are salty water. And it makes it worse that They can't have a daughter. SO...Murray had a mark on his head; shaped like a "W" or an "M" depending on your perspective.....or was his real name "Walter"... I honestly don't remember.

The Oldest of One

I’m the youngest of seven, the oldest of one,
a paradox past understanding;
the oldest of five that I wed on the run
while fleeing the market street landing.
I’m naked, inside, as the eyes of a clown
and cannot believe what I've told you…
but such as this can’t keep the tongue in me down
my ignorance needs to enfold you.
