the good luck cat

there is a cat
on your car in
the morning.
black and white
with green eyes
like broken glass.
a red collar
with a bell
around his fluffy
neck.
he is stretched
out on the hood
of your car.
lying in the sun.
you take this as
a message
to you. whether
good luck
or bad you are
unsure, but you
like the idea that
this cat has
chosen your car
to lie on.
your lives are
intertwined,
but you with just
one, and him
with nine.
