cans

I
measure time
in cat food
cans
full weeks
struck through 
gone
noticed suddenly
because the pallet
is half empty
already
how
she only eats
half can
every day
morning
how can it be
that it's been
17 x 2 cans of time
since the last order
it felt like
last week
that I paid for these
expensive cans
urinary hairball protection 
vet approval needed
whipped and blended
meat filled cans
I need to order more
but not today
I can wait
for another
5 x 2 days
at the latest
no more
or
the cat
will scream
can
is probably how
she measures her life
too
