Vainglorious

The price you pay for giving me unfettered posting rights...

Wallace Stevens once wrote: "A poem is a meteor."

I wrote:

"LuluBelle"

A fat black sleepy cat
collapses by a window
under the weight of warm dusty sunlight.

If a poem is a meteor,
then I am a cat,
but I would like to be a meteor,
which is a very un-cat-like desire.
This is the source of all human suffering.

- Richard
