dawn

I lay on my side with him cradled in my arms. His head against my collarbone, vibrating a low earthquake of a purr.

I press my check against his forehead and see his eyes turn into comfortable slits. Run my hand gently across his fur.

I do you love you.

And that tells me that my heart is capable of love.

In this filthy fucking world , full of mongrels, full of mongoloids,, it’s me and you.

And we’re here together,

And it’s good to be here.

I don’t know about those motherfuckers outside, I have a lot history to suggest they eat donkey balls,,,but here?

It’s me and you.

Warm, fed, healthy,

Enjoying a brief cuddle in the morning.

Fuck that world.

Fuck all that stuff they mad about.

Fuck those people at my job, which I’m required to hold down.

Fuck making other people millionaires..

Who cares?

Who…fucking….cares?

I’m elevated with you.

With you in my arms, I’m taken above all this muck.

And I’m happy up here.

Ascended, untouchable..heavenly..

If heaven were real, there’d be cats scampering all over the place.

The litter boxes would be beneath the streets and they’d clean themselves.

Bukowski wrote this one line, it stays with me

“The cats of great style lounge about the alleyways of the universe”– On Cats

Cats of great style….style… feline

(That’s us brah!)

You god damn right it is..

Cat’s of great style,, a fluid flow and a heart with love in it…walking out amongst the bullshit.

You’re with the bullshit.

I’m with the cats.

The Cricket-Mans and the Monster-Mans..the finer points.

The wonderful part of this experience we all share…

No nothing.

Know nothing.

Just a cuddle with a cat and a long,skinny middle finger pointing at the rest of it…

You can’t hurt me.

(They can’t)

You can’t kill me

(They won’t)

You can’t beat me..

You can’t beat us.

I will savor that love in my heart, and I will wear it like an armor.

I will carry that act around with me and it will be my salvation.

Love is the answer.

And your bullshit kingdom might implode on itself once it reaches critical mass…

But that’s fine…

Because I have love.

SO fuck it
