A life with purpose: a life with love, with company, with music and art and interest. And birds. And children.

The Miu Miu Paris show for Spring/Summer 2010 was way back in October. I have been daydreaming about these looks. Cats. In navy and black and tailored suits.
Also I love when my roommates wear their hair like this. Vicarious life, and all that.

My own Cat Sweater Collection is a little more trite and "ironic" and embarrassing to my Kit.

This is the only picture I currently have of my cat when he was a kitten. NYC Roommate's sister also pictured.

Soon Sunny will have a dog and it will be summer and everything will be hopeful.

Everything We Do

by Peter Meinke

Everything we do is for our first loves
whom we have lost irrevocably
who have married insurance salesmen
and moved to Topeka
and never think of us at all.

We fly planes & design buildings
and write poems
that all say Sally I love you
I'll never love anyone else
Why didn't you know I was going to be a poet?

The walks to school, the kisses in the snow
gather as we dream backwards, sweetness with age:
our legs are young again, our voices
strong and happy, we're not afraid.
We don't know enough to be afraid.

And now
we hold (hidden, hopeless) the hope
that some day
she may fly in our plane
enter our building read our poem

And that night, deep in her dream,
Sally, far in darkness, in Topeka,
with the salesman lying beside her,
will cry out
our unfamiliar name.

this is my dream minute

I feel like the idea to breed horses and zebras must have started out as just the combining of their names. Like some zoologist stubbed his toe one morning while he was pouring his cereal, and in a barely-awake moment of frustration blurted out "ah, ZORSE," rather than an actual curse. Or word. As he ate his Cheerios, he realized the potential moneymaker that is the zebra-horse lovepony. Lovezony. But is it just me, or is this perfect not-found-in-nature thing-I-want-in-my-backyard now doing some inspiring of its own?
