Rough Kittens

Listen, it’s simple.

Freaks do not succeed - not unless they still have something a little bit commercial about them, or, they are freakish enough to be exhibited and
ridiculed.

But a freak show is still a show, right?

I don’t know. I lost my voice the day I met you. I guess that’s why we work so well. I can’t hear you, and the silence is golden.

Nobody takes young people seriously. Not even themselves.

A cat is an animal, just like a human. A kitten is too. When your kitty brings you in a frog or a mouse, it’s not a present.

It’s a warning.

I can hear you through the toilet wall, and you’re aging at the same rate as me.

But the more you play at dying, the bigger the hole you’ll fall into at the end.

Old old youth is waiting for you. It is unrehearsed but will assault your ears you all the same.

Rough Kittens are coming home.
