Irony: a short study of black and white.

An avoidance of gray:
the cat bravely greets
those allergic
and those who love.

My mind drifts
to memories of campfires;
smoke following,
clinging to clothes, long packed,
while I stay forever
in love with you.

Author notes

My freinds cat will sit near you only if you hate cats or love cats, there is no middle ground, no grey zone. This reminded me of campsmoke (always following no matter where you move) and from there the camping event when I fell in love with my wife.
