it is night
i feed the neighbor's cats
they are on vacation
i have a key
i go into someone else's
apartment
i try not to pry or look
around
they have the old electric
stovetop we wish we had
i feed the cats to the
specified amounts
it seems to be quite a bit
for just two cats
but that is what they say
they want for the cats
when i'm done i wash
the cans and the fork
i still try to not let
my eyes roam around
when i go out and
lock the door
i stand with my back
to the apartment
and i just stare
at the courtyard
for about three minuets
it is like being in a new world
imagining they see this
view all the time
