Dropped
Soggy, shaking
Into the dirty street
It stands
Shakes
Runs off
Pride drying quicker
Than fur
Shoved
Sobbing, aching
Out to the edge of the playground
I stand
Brush off gravel and tears
Hold my head up
And notice
A small, stray cat
Running down the dirty street
It prances over
And I see
Myself reflected
in its eyes
Soggy, shaking

Running down the dirty street
It prances over
And I see
