This one goes out to my sweetheart from when we were 19/21 (respectively). Yes, sometimes pop music lyrics read as poetry! This is "Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure" from John K. Samson's book, "Lyrics and Poems: 1997 - 2012." It is also a song from his band, The Weakerthans. If you have more song lyrics you want me to try reading as I would regularly poems, send them my way and we will see how it goes. For links to the song itself and the writer: (johnksamson.com).
