Unwinding Virginia Salter this day was not like most others i thank God, especially, for that, still I must say, in a most emphatic way it’s a day to wish i’s a cat! every ounce of my sinew every vessel, each vein is a taut rubber band stretched over a crane my mind is as boggled as boggled can be my switch is as toggled and, well, you can see, my sense is all nonsense my words are all daft you’d think my brain’d been given the shaft as i look on the patio my sweet puddy tat is a lollin’ and sprawlin’ not a care in the world each inch of her body fully unfurled while sweet nooner sun has each fern frond a-curled her paws are way south while her hind feet are due north then twisting she goes while she’s making her sport of being a cat a cat that is free to loll and to sprawl much finer than me © May 11, 2000 |
