what we have

most of the times

a dog or a cat

in our laps

wagging its tail

or purring aloud

looking at you

with soulful eyes

without judgement

or malice

or is it too good

to be really true

does it after all

want a lot from you

that somehow only

you can provide

wagging or purring

just a trap
