AN EXCERPT FROM
"THE POWER OF MEOW"
by Dr. Bernard Gunther, PhD.
rumi
is my roommate
we've been together
for almost a year
he's half siamese half human
super fur fine white
orange sherbert ears and tail
eyes open wise
licking himself
he intuitively seems to go
to those places
i least want him to be
and he lets me know
when he's hungry
needs attention
when he wants to be groomed
or is going to toss up
a hair ball
or when he wants me
to chase him around the bed
so he can rationalize
hiding under the covers
and taking a long nap
but he comes to me
whenever i call him
if he feels like it
and he only bites me softly
when we play
plus the whole night through
he quietly sleeps next to me
and we
understand love
each other
beyond words
and all in awe
its by far
the very best
intimate relationship
i've ever had |
