the other night

i got up for a pee

found the cat on the computer

using CatGPT

writing fake poems

piscatorially postulating

about fish not from the sea

waxing quite poetically

about how salty fish should be

he didn't hear me from behind

he had his headphones on

the constant clack of his frantic keying

told me the something up was wrong

something was up and wrong indeed

but not quite what you think

the cat that i forgot to put out last night

(I do not endorse any putting out of any cats, my cats all live inside! I’m just filling lines here ok!)

was causing a ruckus and a stink

the AI could not compete

with the feline mind

the scratching of posts

the bringing of dead things

as it melted all helter skelter

it left a hole in time

right where my computer used to be

the cat looked around

and jumped ten feet

every single hair standing on end

stuck upside down in the ceiling

like a bad cartoon

his headphones fell off

as he clawed the plaster above

i could hear Gary Numan!

    "Cats", not "Cars"? Mr. Numan would approve.
