Subject: Cats Finding Weaknesses in Men

Cats Finding Weaknesses in Men

Swift as a cat,
I might go here or there,
If I was a cat,
A cat like that...
Maybe I should
Wonder.

I was sort of comfortable here,
In my reconciliation...
In my recurrent isolation,
With a ghostly promise,
You would recognize it,
Again.

I suffer presumption, but let me
Please, just let me
Say it while it's fresh.

These things and meaning,
Am I really that vain?
Oh, but I know a feeling,
I know a number of feelings, in fact,
When I feel them...
Who doesn't?

I know a number of feelings...
And sometimes they are
Correct.

I find myself explaining,
That I'm not that man,
That shrewd sly contraption,
That conniption...

Then I'm thinking how lonely
The blue darkness severs
My brave thoughts from
Immediate grasp...

I'm thinking how to explain,
Or that I don't even know you,
But maybe I want to,
Though I'm not sure why...
Not all of it, I mean,
Not all the way through...
Yet.

"Oh no", I'm thinking,
I was a cat curled in that
Fine bed of dry musty leaves
That I would miss, as a memory,
But a kiss, a true kiss might elude me...

Oh no!
And tomorrow I might see
What laughing sprites made
Such a hunched-over,
Hump-slackened
Fool of me...

Here, or what fear has
Done that very same thing
That a sprite might like to
Do to me,
Again.
