self help

i buy a cake,
some candles. a card.
a small gift
which i wrap nicely
in a box
with paper and a bow.
i set them all
out onto the table
where they can
wait for me
until i get home.
and when i get home,
i pour a glass of wine,
put on some
music,
open my gift to me,
slice
out a piece of cake,
dance around the room
and enjoy.

I dance with the cats.
They are easy,
uncomplicated
jumping from their place
in the window
when I pull up in my car
anticipating all
that might be
solved with the sound
of a can opener
in the kitchen. They pounce
on the kitchen table
waiting for
deliverance.
