Cat


i wonder what the cat thinks
about the window sill

there's no resistance in the hop
to the chair

even glancing back
green-eyed
over one shoulder
all seems serene

and gazing out the window - 
wonderful things!

snatched then
at the back of the neck

flung

falling

its priority becomes
landing
on its feet
