                  Cats

You argue bitterly, resolution
impossible--

The cat springs from the back of the stove
as you turn on the burner.

She curls under the easy chair.
She will have none of this foolishness.

The accusation flings itself:
"You don’t understand me!"

He knows, in fact, how to please you, but
refuses. And visa versa.

The cat licks her bristled fur.
And you ask another to do this for you!
