Guilt reminds me
of a stray
cat.

You chase it away
and yet,
it comes back
when you least
expect it.

If you let yourself 
feel pity for it and
feed the thing,
it parks its ugly,
puny,
lonely-for-attention
butt
on your doormat
and
won't
go
away.

Mom and Dad
watch me
write notes
to myself
and stick them
around the house.

Joy, Not Sorrow

Laughter, Not Tears

Life, Not Death

They smile at me.
They got the letter.
They understand.

Scat,
kitty cat,
scat.
I don't need you
sitting around here
like that.
