night divagations

The cats are really getting vicious with each other, because I don’t always have enough food for them and yesterday I ran out, and out of money too, till tomorrow, and I’ve noticed it's happened before with these languorous beasts, and I suppose it happens with people too, when they haven’t enough to content them, things get all dysfunctional which in most parts of Australia doesn’t happen, not really, not much, unless drugs and other stupors make people tetchy and broke and you can see their organs pumping frenetically under their translucent stretched skin, and their kids avoid them to build rich fantasies of tenuous comfort and monstrous invasion, screams and sleep.
