Simplicity

I am sitting in your loft bed
when I hear you say,
“Let me give you,
all you desire.”

I sit on the verge
of nervous laughter
dizzy with unknowing
what to say
to every fantasy granted,
and then I realize,
you are talking
to the cat.

Without a doubt
this much you can do,
and I am harder, it is true.

Outside a man sits topless
by the street window.
I imagine he has cats.

I will purr louder,
if you let me.
