The problem is we've never had a cat,
and even if I lived vicariously through others,
half that living would still be nearly dying
breathless due to allergies.
One of my online followings, he buys
a load of antihistamines each month
aside from all the extra food and water
and, of course, the litter,
the toys, especially the replacements
for all the torn up sheets and scratched up posts
left behind in his so-called baby's wake.
The problem is, in fact,
we already have four dogs,
one of whom always hurries up the stairs
whenever the local foundlings congregate
into a loud destruction on our roof.
