For the Best

Let's workshop this bitch!

For the Best

A sterile reality
in which everything 
works out
would be boring, 
bereft of opportunity

for exercising 
virtues like generosity
and for feeling 
the joy of conquest 
(which is why

caring cat owners 
hide treats in places 
that require 
thrill-stoking
ingenuity to reach).
