Who We Are/ For Trying


accept that you are never seen

as you like to be seen

but that you are

 

in the way

acknowledged as something

to be avoided

 

the difference, too, is something

-- a golem, or a pet to keep you

company

 

                            a cat

indifferent to our affections

who comes to us for feedings

 

given to us, our affections

to remind us that we cannot

control them

 

that cats will decide

who we are

for trying
