Being

Being stoned on marijuana alot
when you are young is good

preparation for being old. You
feel all the time, or at least

often, like you are on
some precipice, ready to fall.

You know the feeling, it ain’t
necessarily comforting, but you’ve
been there before.

By the same
if not entirely similar
token, an active

if at times
dysfunctional sex life
prepares one for

communion with an affectionate
if overly aggresive kitten who
wants to cuddle

all the time. You can’t
do it
all the time

but when you
are ready for it it
can be very good.
