63 Cats In A Hat Poem by Ronel O'Reilly

63 Cats In A Hat



63 Cats in a hat
going through their own
magical experiences.
Every night the same
rituals.

Lock-up time
fighting for the shower
fighting with whoever
pissed you off during the day.
Then meaningless
conversations.
TV 1 playing for the
previously oppressed
now the leaders of their
own little gangs
calling the shots over
their domain.

I find it impossible to participate
I find it even more impossible
to sleep.
Every sound echoes in my
head and even
in the dead of the night the
'sleep-mode-noises'
cause havoc in my unsettled
soul.
