Easy Come
By robert braunstein
Man and beast poem
::::::::
She came into my life like a stray cat
I found her in the lobby of my apartment house
Her fur stood up a little like bed head on a sleepless night
I liked her right away even though we just met
I brought her into my apartment. I offered her some milk
She lit a cigarette and purred
Like a vibrator.
I went to get the milk
I turned my back and she jumped out the window
Like a burglar caught in the act
I was glad I lived on the ground floor
I thought I saw her in the alley one rainy night
But who knows for sure
