The brown, the dark, the one with Zebra Stripes<\/div>\n
\u2013these cats, the stray cats-I give the name wild cats<\/div>\n
They come to greet me, outside the door<\/div>\n
Whenever I come out of the apartment<\/div>\n
They await my arrival to welcome back<\/div>\n
I like them, I would embrace them but I cannot<\/div>\n
They run- in the winter snow or chill<\/div>\n
My friends, my neighbors in the solitude-<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t fear, I adore you but I cannot take you inside either<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My daughter-she wants some friends<\/div>\n
O cats!\u00a0\u00a0don\u2019t run-<\/div>\n
But when I take her near, she fears, so the cats<\/div>\n
My daughter-she wants some friends<\/div>\n
O birds ! don\u2019t run-<\/div>\n
But when she runs to hold them, they fly off-<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I see birds- I don\u2019t know their names<\/div>\n
I see trees- I don\u2019t know their names<\/div>\n
I see people- I cannot talk to them<\/div>\n
Many things-undefined and segregated<\/div>\n
I live the solitude in the multi<\/a>tude-<\/div>\n
No people, no tress, no roads, no bushes-familiar<\/div>\n

Solitude- the devil<\/div>\n
How you bore Crusoe?<\/div>\n
Its killing me, so terrible \u2013<\/div>\n
