Last Night I Dreamt I Was Different

In my dream I watched as my inner cat
left my body.

It turned, gave me a disdainful look
and sloped off.

Well, I thought, that’s that
and slept on.

‘Breakfast!’ I barked,
as soon as I woke up.

I hurtled downstairs
on all fours.

I instinctively knew
I was about to have the day I’ve always deserved.

The breasts
took me by surprise.
(I know, I know, if you saw me
you wouldn’t believe your eyes).

I didn’t mind the wet nose
nor the lolling tongue.

But breasts!

I was soon upstairs,
dragging clothes out of drawers,
whimpering.

Tail no longer wagging.

‘There must be a bra in there
that will fit me,’ I growled.

And,
doggone it,
there was.
