I was chasing kitties, chasing kitties down the dirty, wet alley. The kitties always run. They run and run and run, but I think they might like to be hugged and loved and petted. I think they might. So I kept chasing the kitties.

Sometimes I get hungry, but it's best not to think, said Jimmy. Don't think about what you're eating, Jimmy said. Jimmy's kinda smart; I think he's the smartest guy I know. He's half grown up. I can't wait till I grow up. Then I wont be so cold. Grownups are never cold. Grownups live in houses filled with kitties. And in houses filled with apple juice.

I really like apple juice. It's so sweet and cool and clean. I mostly only like it in the summer. Jimmy says I was little last summer, but now, he says, I'm a big boy who can get his own food, a big boy who can fend for himself. I felt good when he said that, like he liked me more than the other kids. There aren't many other kids; I try not to pay much attention, because I know they'll all just go away. Bobbo went away, Jimmy s

Then other people come, other people come and talk to me. Parents come and talk to me, not just any parents, but my very own parents come and talk to me. And they tell me that the evil men cam and stole me away, and they've been looking and looking and looking for me all over the world. In fact they were just recently in France, looking for me in the waffle tower. How glad how glad how glad they are to have finally found me, that I'm their big boy, look how big I've gotten, don't I remember my own parents? Don't I remember them? They come to hug and love and kiss me again.

And now I'm falling falling falling. Surprisingly it feels good to fall to fall down and down and down. The world seems to swirl and all I can think is what if this is the last thing I ever feel. What if Jimmy finds me naked and dirty and hot and frozen lying on the floor of our house? All I can do anymore is stare at my picture on the wall, my picture on the wall next to my bed. Maybe, maybe this is where my parents come in, maybe this is where my mommy comes in and hugs me, maybe this is where the kitties coming and take me away to that place that place that place.

Jimmy says we have to get money somehow. We at least have to try. He says ain't nobody gonna chase down a hungry little kid, but I'm still scared. Nobody has the heart to do that cepting the police. The police chase everyone. We should run and we should steal women's purses and men's wallets and all sorts of things, we should learn how to steal. I wouldn't feel bad though, those people have too much, and they should share anyways. Jimmy says we's all got to share all the time, that that's the only thing that keeps us human.

And all of a sudden, god I'm hot, god oh god oh god I'm hot. Think you god I'm hot, I should take my clothes off, I feel like I'm burning. God what if I am burning? How can I be so hot when it's so so so cold outside, so so so cold?

The zoo is the best place I can think of. I love to go to the zoo. You have to pretend you're with a school group. It usually always works. But if it don't ya gots ta run and run, says Jimmy. Jimmy's really smart. There are lots of people you gots ta run from.

Last week I almost caught this kitty. I ran hard and harder and I got so close, but this kitty ran into a house. 'Oh', I thought, 'this kitty belongs to someone, this kitty belongs to grownups'. How nice it must be to be able to run somewhere instead of just running away.

Then the police come, then the police come and tell my parents to move along move along move along. And I'm almost certain they're trying to hide Sniffles the cat.
