Cats against Schrödinger

I started writing on this app. Here to improve. Feel free to give feedback. My stories will seem all over the place sometimes because I figured that’s how I’d find a voice. 25/5/25: Also, I’m experimenting with an idea. It’s not exactly literary.

Pure Peace

Cats against Schrödinger

1 min read

Yin wakes up

to find Yang missing.

He wonders the woods,

climbs the mountains,

and searches the skies.

He comes back

to nothing,

and then notices

a little piece of himself gone. ☯️...

Secret Curriculums

Cats against Schrödinger

A school yard teaches lessons beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic, especially to those little boys inclined to copy the hardened heroes they see on TV. And no, not your average chosen hero who arrives at the last possible second, but the tried and true boys in blue. Cops. Robbers. The good, the bad, and the indifferent.

That’s where Humming decided to play a little game with a kid who had a p...

Erstin’s fingers worked the clay as he wrote letters in the five lined alphabet of his people. They shook so bad he kept stopping. His eyes set hard on the clay. Jakestin came in behind him, but he ignored her presence.

“Erstin, you’ve been at that for hours.”

“And it’s been the best time of my life. Now, don’t bother me.”

“When are you going to stop?”

“When I figure out what happens next.”

Cookie jar

Cookie jar,

The treats are gone.

Cookie jar

Cookie jar,

Where have you gone?

Cookie jar

Cookie jar,

Something’s really wrong.

Without You

Cats against Schrödinger

Out the window

all I see

are lights upon a canvas view

that hold my mind

in memory

and fill a void of feeling too.

Though what they fill

would not be

if I didn’t have you to see.

What street lights hold in memory—

your beauty beats in its majesty....

A Sunny Night In Paris

Cats against Schrödinger

1 min read

Snow is falling in the Sahara

and the Arizona cacti are jealous

because they’ve never seen a rain drop

but it’s a sunny night in Paris

Yet, it’s all the same

as any other weekday

There’s a drought in the Atlantic

and the fish all want to panic

but if you look hard enough

you can see the top of the Titanic

Yet, it’s all the same

as any other weekday

Snow is falling in the Sahara

while it’s free...

Only A Call Away

Cats against Schrödinger

1 min read

I’m still waiting by the phone

Slapping myself silly

Wondering if it was a dream

Or if I just inspire a groan

It started off just right

Dinner then a walk through the night

Hit it off or so I thought

Maybe I’m lost between the lines

Maybe I just can’t land it right

Say the things that push the heights

To find a person who I might

Live next to in this blight

Or maybe I’m just cray cray

With a ...

Inner Play

Cats against Schrödinger

1 min read

The mind to the heart did impart

a thought of terrible notions.

The heart called back

with a pumping snap,

to focus on the emotions.

With just a jitter,

the mind sent a quiver

all the way down the spine.

The spine bent tight

and came back with spite

and asked for medical potions....

Careful Who You Haunt

Cats against Schrödinger

Knock knock,

who’s there?

A monster haunting me.

Are you haunting me

or wanting me?

Should I break the dry wall

to take a peek?

Give you a hug—

take away your sneak?

Baby you until the morning sun

while you try to run?

There’s no monster there,

just someone unprepared

to deal with my love....

Playing Odds Like No One Is Watching

Gamble…

Chance?

Hey, you. You wanna dance?

Say no,

I’ll take a chance

asking next song.

And if twice

doesn’t wear on you,

honey—I’ll swear on you.

I’ll go out alone

to center floor

and jump the beat

like no one was there

but you and me,

and you might still say no

but if you do,

I’ll still kill it, slow....
