Embarrassed by my me-ness,
I thought of wearing the giant kitty head
made of paper mache
to read this,
but even that would be imperfect,
muffled words vibrating 
from the bulbous misshapen head
white whiskers askew
people wondering, asking why?
So instead let’s follow my kids,
crash an OSU house party
Uber pull up,
big cat head atop shoulders,
Ms. Kitty.
No youth asking who?
Who brought their mom?
