my oobi doobi's gone. cat and i took her to be put to sleep at 6:40 this evening. the vet, she was really sweet. i could hardly say anything because i was crying so hard. i wanted to thank her, but i couldn't. cat did, though. she said since she was so small, they had to inject the poison directly into her heart. this morning i discovered her diarrhea had become bloody, so i decided it was time to go. she'd also become abdominally swollen, which could have been attributed to liver disease the vet said. she also said oobi looked like she had a cataract in her right eye.
whilst pouring your 40 for elliot, don't forget oobi. she was a doll, and it's going to be strange not having noises coming from the vanity while trying to sleep.
i want someone to sing this song to me �
i'll be the grapes fermented, bottled and
served with the table set in my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman. i'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the
ancient brick where you will sit and
contemplate your day. i'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning in an open tab when your
judgement's on the brink. i'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
albums back as your lying there drifting off to sleep... i'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you: you won't have to
strain to look into my eyes. i'll be your winter coat buttoned and zipped
straight to the throat with the collar up so you won't catch cold. i want to take you far away from the cynics in this town and kiss you on the mouth.
we'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene, start a brand new colony where everything will change, we'll give ourselves new names (identities erased). the sun will heat the ground under our bare feet. in this brand new colony everything will change.
