Empty Gaze

As a rule, I try not to bait Romeo into making off-putting statements about his one true love, the cat Starbuck. But sometimes when he says weird shit, I can't help but push his buttons. 

Romeo

she meows at reflections

she just looks at me with those sad eyes

i shoudl write a bruce song based on starbuck's empty gaze

The Bard

you know why they're empty?

you don't love her hard enough

Romeo

i squeeze her all the time

i pick her up

i kiss her at least a 100 times a day

The Bard

but is that enough?

Romeo

i've even licked her head once

The Bard

once?

Romeo

i was trying to groom her like she grooms me
