"Bobcat" [by Allison Contey]

Bobcat

There was a bobcat in my apartment
that wasn't a bobcat, really, but a stand-in for something else, and perhaps
that something else is the something else
that I don't want to discuss, but I do discuss,
in the guise of a bobcat conversation, a conversation in which
the bobcat is not you.
