A Sworn Dog Man by Matthew Byrne

I relish my hatred of cats, those aliens that require
their own bathrooms, that stare through me

with eyes that seem to be recording data

for the mother ship in preparation for The Attack,

which will initiate with an infantry of spinsters,

long since spellbound, boarding buses with bombs
strapped under their raincoats, flanked by a hissing
brigade of those evil little bastards that I
will await in my basement crawlspace, rifle pointed
at the stairs, my chocolate lab Pip growling at my side.
