Oh, how I adore the way this makes me sad and comforted all at once---lovely weaving of the mundane with the beautiful. Nice!

yes, doesn't life indeed seem like a conspiracy for which we are responsible! I am pulled to the poem's beginning, the cat almost withering away -- and the energy of the final stanza!

Love the way the speaker's partner transforms as the poem unfolds: "My woman" "The snorer" "warm and fresh as oven baked bread / naked and sexy / as I need her to be." Genius ending.
