it was about nine thirty
WOMAN I cannot possibly
WAIT
one minute longer for breakfast
OK okay
I staggered down the stairs
he HAD eaten the crunchies
pretty much all of them
NOT just the
CRUNCHY CENTERS
I opened a can
I mushed it and spread it
TRIED to get
the exact
CONFIGURATION
MOST preferred by kitty
I set it down
I applied the
CRUNCHIES
I petted and coaxed
for like forty five seconds
OK
you're on your own
I'm going back to sleep
AND
I went back to sleep
