long letters, diatribes, litanies…
…i prefer cats.
short notes/band aids for skin deep cover…
…i prefer cats.
silences/absences or being on to-do lists…
…i prefer cats.decisions made/enforced and handed down hard…
…i prefer cats.soft.
silky.
minds of their own.
love hidden in kitty paws
and Mama purrs
and rough comfort tongues.
I prefer cats
I just cannot prefer cats.
