I'm just a woman
trying to get the baby to sleep
watching my cat drink
out of the toilet
in the yellow vanity light
by the sink.
And there's not a damn thing I can do about it.

Elderly Woman Behind the Table in a Large Town
The glass of Absinthe sat before me. It’s quite amazing how despite such terror rendered upon their stones in the preceding decades, these streets still held the beauty I first read about as a girl. I never dreamed I’d set foot on these cobbles, at least not safely.

Well-wrought! I had a cat who drank from the toilet once. He was as big as a small dog too!
