Her cat <br />cradled in her lap <br /> <br />her frock <br />a hammock <br /> <br />she talks to her cat <br />& the cat talks back. <br /> <br />They both purr <br />with the pleasure <br /> <br />of each <br />other. <br /> <br />“What do you talk about? ” <br />I ask curious to know. <br /> <br />“Oh...you know... <br />cat things! ” <br /> <br />I leave them <br />at it.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/girl-talk-for-scarlett/
