Bagheera Moon
An ode to my cat
Every morning and night my cat stares at the moon.
I walk into it as my day begins and she stares wanting me to come back soon.
She lets off a chorus of meows to the sky and if I’m not back it makes her cry.
I pretend to not be affected but I know it’s lies.
Watching my cat stare up at the moon looking with stoic eyes.
When the half moon in her pupils take a look you
She’s looking at that moon and she’s knows that I’m looking too.
A moon through the eyes of my cat is the clearest moon.
Not belonging to the world. Its just Bagheera’s moon.
~Dedicated to my cat, Bagheera

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
