Cat Lady

Dream hands
Wrap ribbon fingers
Around dream ankles,
Making a real gift
Out of it,
In a dream car
Of a dreaming head.

Rolling images
Of fingertips
And stick shifts
Shake, rattle, and roll
Wet dream orgasms
I don't believe
I even felt.

No climax.

Fantastic dimension
Can't incubate
At the call
Of my morning alarm.

REM falls out.
So do gift-wrapped ankles.

Fluffed feline tails
And sandpaper tongues
Fall in.

Some women
Dream of cats
And wake up
To men.

I dream of men
And wake up
To cats.
