The No Pets Policy

 

There I was, an eleven year old girl,  on her

way home from school, along Manhattan's west side.

 

I get to the cat lady, resting on the concrete stoop,

With her cat feeding chores behind her.

 

I sit in the middle of the sidewalk and entice the big

Tom cat into my lap.

 

There i sit, in heaven, and I curl around this old cat.

 

I go deep in, to bask in the lava-like heart of the Universe.

 

Gotta go.  I'll be late, and that might entail questions i

   cannot answer.
