You bought me an expensive, beautiful bed.
And it’s not that I don’t like it. I do!
It’s just that the much smaller basket,
the thing I’m spilling over into right now…
contains clothes you recently wore and
were preparing to use in a craft project.
And because they were so recently close to you,
I prefer the basket with your clothes in it
to the expensive bed.
Because I am your pet, and I want to be close to you, too.
