One of my cats, Brownie |
How many times have you wished
to be somebody else?
To be the emperor of Akhand Bharat
Or be in the Forbes list of karotpat.
Serpents may long for wings,
Tea vendors can long to be kings.
Like I want to be a poet
Or at least a muse’s cigarette.
Cats
The only creatures
That don’t want to be
Anything else.
They are contended
To be what they are.
When they are hungry
They know how to get the food
From you
And if you don’t know
What they want
It’s your loss
They will go
And bring serpents
And play with them
In your bedroom.
Cats
They love you
So much
That they will sleep
Between your legs
When you are asleep
And go away without a word of thanks
Or regret
Or any sentiment silly
When you wake up
Loving their warmth
Between your legs.
They don’t need you.
You need them.
Try loving a cat
If you don’t believe me.
The cat’s love
will make you
straightforward.
