If Your Desires Are Not Extravagant, They Will Be Granted
He loves a fresh fortune cookie
with the wrapper opened
just enough to get a good whiff
of sweet almost-lemon.
He loves the cellophane's crinkle,
the crunch of crisp cookie,
the mysterious strip of paper
in the fold of the belly of the BISCUIT.
And, he is happy.
I pull the damp fortune
from between his teeth
and read it to him.
He listens intently,
head cocked to one side;
profound understanding
glistens in his eye.
And, he loves me.
He lays on his patch of sunny carpet,
scratches his ear in deep contemplation
for several hours before
he loves the sound
of the can opener that beckons him
to the very smelly DINNER he loves.
And, he finds the true meaning
of contentment.
And, he loves me.
