THE ONE-EYED CAT by PAUL FORT

First Line: TO THE KELP THE DAME IS GONE, IN GUIANA IS THE MAN, AND THE LITTLE
Last Line: OWNS THE LITTLE HOUSE ALL DAY.
Subject(s): ANIMALS; CATS; SEA; OCEAN;
To the kelp the dame is gone, in Guiana is the man, and the little house stands
alone all the day.

Alone? Through the closed green blinds in the darkness, something shines like a
droplet of the sea.

When the prison takes the man the ocean claims the dame and the one-eyed cat
owns the little house all day.
