and what if

 and what if

and what if the sun does not rise 

as it always has but now does not

the cat cannot read but looks at a book

doesn’t know the start from the finish

but will sit on the book and think of washing 

it always does and always will

but what if the sun does not rise

who will feed my cat

i ask you that but you have no bright ideas

no eureka bulbs come on 

no dawn of thought

bugger! bugger! bugger!
