Maria Dong | The Cabbit

“It’s a <i>cabbit</i>.” He wiggles his fingers through the grille of the hard plastic kennel. He is John or Tim, or maybe Jim: some name that means <i>random white guy at a Midwestern college</i>. It’s not that I don’t care. I just can’t quite remember. Through one of the air holes, I glimpse something that swirls, dark and shining, like a galaxy. It speaks of hidden places---but when Jim pulls the furry body into the light, all I can think is <i>soft and long</i>. Soft, long ears. A curling cat’s tail. | Copyright 2021 by Maria Dong.
