Watching Bubbles with My Russian Blue

I have nothing to do
but lay in my warm bubbly tub,
listening to the Grateful Dead
with a marijuana cigarette
slowly burning
and my Russian Blue purring
in the steamy background.

Some say, a man using Mister Bubbles
at my age
is quite odd
and not very sophisticated,
but for me
it’s the perfect way to let go,

to immerse, to merge
into a tranquil state of Nirvana
watching bubbles with my Russian Blue
as my worrisome thoughts
rise and pop.
