Plants and Cats
I fill my life with machines and things
I don't think they make me very happy
I don't dream of them-they dream of me
filling my thoughts keeping me busy
don't be afraid of my loneliness
I'll try to understand the way you exist
you divide existence in two bits
between plants and cats
I've lived exclusively in a world of men
a lot of right angles and rotten meals
Now I have to begin again
with curves and four-course dinners
this lack I felt turned into a career
negation, obstruction, Freudian fears
exercising muscles for the first time in years
taken back to childhood smells
an older impulse makes itself felt
millennia of civilization start to melt
you threaten to add my secrets to your act
dividing me between plants and cats
