It's not that I've forgotten?
I feed it every now and then, or at least
I set some food where it can be found. I
had a place for it on my desk at first, right
in the middle, where I could watch it play, but
it has grown feverish and cringes from the light.
It seems to like the far corner, the shadows, that
old box with the rest of your stuff inside.
I think it sneaks out at night?sometimes I hear it
lapping water from the toilet; I smell smoke and
in the morning there's a handful of ground-out cigarettes
in the sink. It has lost so much weight, and lately it has been
coughing up blood. I'm sorry. I think it needs you.
