The Cat Does Not Care

The cat does not care
    If I’m rich or if I'm poor
    If I’m famous or
    about ego or hubris or paradigms

The cat does not care
    Whether they say I’m arrogant or
    If that hurts or inspires me
        or both or neither

The cat does not care
    If I write the book or
    If I record the album or
    If the internet is working or not

The cat does not give two shits
    About my opinions on politics or religion
    or on race or sex
    or on the inevitable madness

The cat does not care
    If I believe myself to
    be inadequate in everything
    Paralyzed into inaction

The cat does not care
    About my annual or semi-annual
    Physician Dental Dividends Taxes
    Co-payments or if the housekeepers are legal

The cat does not care
    About my accomplishments
    Past Present Future
        at all ever

The cat could care less
    About my grand ideas or
    the shitty execution of these ideas or
    If these ideas ever actually execute

The cat does not care
    To be annoyed
    To be ignored
    To be fucking bothered

The cat does not care
    To be judged by inferiors
    for snuggling a full-grown human man
    in the bright light of day
