For Pat

Arrogance, pride
a crown is a difficult weight to bear.
Ah! You were so majestic under the weight.

No, you walked slumped by all that weight.
A little girl gave you a balloon,
the cats pricked it and the little girl cried.
A heart can't make sense,
it can only fly.

Oh, Cat Lady
Can you see me?
Even Isis couldn't comprehend the weightlessness of that girl.
That little girl filled with sweet candy bars of delight.
