our little genderqueer outside cat
grey tabby
names:
dustbowl
dusty
sharknado
comes nearly every day to eat the food we put out for all the cats
(some days twice)
getting used to me,
but still stays more than two arms-lengths away
at all times
at all times
but sometimes
will make eye contact
and walk past
as if i’m not the most frightening thing on the planet
and i think that’s
progress
