(finding a dead cat in the morning before work)

it didn't just happen
beside a green
dumpster

it ended
in an instant
before it could really
occur,

nor did it wait around
for the right moment

though maybe
someone
drug it off the road
& put it there to rest

these things don't just

happen
like that,

we don't stumble upon them
& assume that they actually begin

right
there,

we go back & create
a story to make sense

of it

so we feel okay,

but it happened

& it's not
okay
