Monday Rain, Monday Pain


Rabies, do I know you?
I do not know rabies.
I do not have rabies!

One moment at home
The next in a cage
The next in a car
The next at the vet!

New places and new faces
Voices of cats
Meow and cry
But I do not see them

Suddenly freed
and on a table
Hands all around me
Some stroking, some poking

Then...
the shot!

It does not phase me
It does not raise me
I sit calmly and comfortably
The strangers depart

Proudly inoculated
I am returned home
Back in the bag
Immune from the rabies
