London Ecuadorian Embassy Kitty, Leek, is a cat gone Meme

He is wee. He is kitty kitty. He is Leeks. Wiki leaks, by association, only.

He is wearing those cute little ties — uncomfortably.

He is peering out the window as if an escape is possible.

Maybe there is an escape for all of us?

Maybe we can slip into that street, and march for our lives.

Maybe just an escape from the vampire suck of politics.

Cats, being perfect, know better than we do.

Why can’t we listen to what they say with their eyes?

I know there are dog people too, okay with me,

But neighbor dogs bark and poop in our yard.

We don’t need that right now.

We’ve all put up with too much poop,

But enough about corrupt politics, Assange, Trump, Barr

We just need to tune into the wisdom of cats.

I hope Leek is okay.

I really do.
