i had twins, a boy and a girl

it was long crazy dreaming
there was a war on, or something
and i was trying to protect my babies
who were tiny
eight or ten inches long
and, pretty uniformly black
not even like African American black
but like the clothes i wear
black
and i was a little sad
because i didn't think you could be the father
and periodically
they would change into kittens

and
they came and told me
i did the inventory
completely wrong
