This is silly. But also serious.

He’s a menace. He’s just doing what he does. He must be stopped. I’ll be kind to him.

Boundaries, man; boundaries.

lyrics

we don’t share the same language,
but in bed, that’s no big deal
he doesn’t need words
to show me how he feels
i wish he could learn “subtlety,”
or “consent,” or “apropos”
but i’d settle for just two letters:
why can’t he understand “no”?

    Sausalito walks on my kidneys
    Sausalito licks my hair
    Sausalito nurses my armpit
    Sausalito just doesn’t care

his fur and his mind are both rabbit-soft
his grasp of his surroundings is feeble
the way he handles his front and back,
he resembles a bag of weasels
he’s incurably curious, though
and his love for me is strong
room to room, he follows me
he talks to me all day long
he meows at me all day long  [chirps, bdddps, yowls]
did i mention that he talks to me all day--

    Sausalito hollers at mealtimes
    Sausalito licks and stares
    Sausalito leaves a wet spot
    Sausalito is always there

have i told you what he does with a sweater?
oh you don’t wanna know 
what he does with a sweater
no you don’t--
i won’t talk about the sweater
and what he does when they’re together
we don’t talk about sweaters, no no no
  
(and he makes eye contact while he does it)

    Sausalito licks my hoodie
    Sausalito purrs in my face
    Sausalito sucks on the duvet
    Sausalito claws me awake

cause he wants me to know
i just gotta know
he needs me to know he cares

Sausalito

“clueless, even for a white guy”
