animals

what we want
gets harder and harder
to say.
so much of what
you desired
when young is
now in the attic,
the garage,
someplace
where you don't
remember.
it goes to back
to food
and drink,
sex and love,
respect, whatever
that might
mean,
in no particular
order.
sleep and shelter.
animals till
the very end.
