Wearing the Collar


(Aliens by Fernand Léger, 1881–1955, French painter
and sculptor)

“Pains of love be sweeter far / Than all the other pleasures are.”    ~ John Dryden (1631-1700), English poet, dramatist, and satirist

WEARING THE COLLAR

I live with a lady and four cats
and some days we all get
along.

some days I have trouble with
one of the
cats.

other days I have trouble with
two of the
cats.

other days,
three.

some days I have trouble with
all four of the
cats

and the
lady:

ten eyes looking at me
as if I was a dog.

~ Charles Bukowsi (1920-1994), American poet and writer of novels and short stories
