Catcher In The Rye

I know a place
where cats come to die
would you like to see it? I asked
he said, no I wouldn't

it’s innocent and distinct
it’s clear and untouched
would you like to see it? I asked
he answered: no - I wouldn't

he said it in a way
that left me with no other choice than to turn
away from him
from this point on
I’m slowly
approaching the exit
