Cooking for Two
Peanut butter sandwich
over the sink
Of love or loss
There was nothing to think
Then my sister
sent me a cat
five weeks old
Imagine that
I could take care
of something
but a plant
Before Cable in NYC
We watched PBS
in Brooklyn
A gift from God
I named him Nathan
We needed food, there
Was no seitan
No cat experience
Should have bottle-fed
But he was a fighter
And so I said
I’d build a mouse
and that I tried
Fancy Feast he ate
And so I lie
Every year
he’d get Fancy Feast
On birthday and Christmas
It was the least
I could do for my guy
The Nate-Man
Smoked salmon not
A fan
Go figure.
