In Memoriam

Do you remember when there was nothing to hear
When silence was silent
Not even the hum of some distant thing
. . .

Synapses speeding
Up in time fleeting they say
You gotta hit the ground bleeding
Before your heart stops beating in your chest
You give it your best or give it a rest
Is this a test or is this our story
To reach for glory before in memoriam
. . .

The world can't go back to the way it was
It never could
It never does
. . .

Cats in Purrrsuit

Kitties on edge

On the ledge

Want to invest in hedge funds

But they got no real funds

So they dress up in suits

In pursuit of jobs in the classifieds

Bonafide cats with street smarts

But no education that’s ok gonna let it slide

Rockin’ the interview

Expandin’ the purrrview

For the recruiter

To hire cats to work on computers

And now they’re commuters

But cats don’t like riding on wheels

They hate how it feels

It makes them hisssterical

It’s a miracle

They make it to work without going berserk

And work forty hours

For the powers that be 

Payin’ their paycheck on payday 

Today is the day they race to the bank 

Cha-ching they be bringing the bling bling

Callin’ up the broker asking her to broker

A deal to ‘steal’ some capital 

It makes no sense at all

That cats are picking up the pace

About face are joining the rat race

To do something else it seems

Sick of being in memes

They can haz more meaning

Being in purrrsuit of their dreams.
