I love a miserable day

tomorrow should decay

Just like yesterday

My autocrat of a
cat
sat on the pedestal
and watched me type.
His eyes, slits, like
slivers of emeralds.

He took a paw,
licked it, and
washed his despot face.
He owned me.
I did whatever he
wanted.
He sauntered off,
then turned and
watched , as I
took liberty with
truth, for the
sake of
imagination and creation.

I dreamed last
night that he could
talk.
He just said two words.
"Beautiful lies."

What I really wanna do
Is watch movies with her
Play board games
Talk naked in the tub

She asks me questions about books
Religion
Coincidence
We dance. We sing. We rub.

I ask about her parents
I tell her of my grandma Marie
I kiss her on her eyelids
She sings Let it Be.

I fall asleep in her arms
We fly to Istanbul
Hagia Sophia
Exoplanet pull

                     Yo espero.

Things are so bad
I wish
I could catch
A stray bullet
I'm not suicidal
But death
Would slap
Right now
I'm keeping my head
Close
To the window
In case
There is a shootout
My way out

Sometimes it is nice to be a fool,
To enjoy certain moments you
desire,
In that foolishness lies wisdom.
