A Cat Is a Complication

It would be so charming if
The Borrowers' wallpaper
Were not a fragment,

A museum's marble bust,
Once garishly painted, blank
Without pupil or iris,
A line by Sappho.

It would be so charming if
We could imagine
Ourselves into existence

Instead of having to wait
For existence to give us
Fuel for imagination.
You're looking at him.
