This is in praise of cats
How they have great purrsonality and avert catastrophes.
With mewling meowness, they lap the milk of human kindness.
Ginger striped burnished, they come fully furnished
with no caterwauling, or hissy-fit pussyfooting
Pawsibly psychic, they make the best mewsic.
The cream of the bowl, it’s time to rowl and roll.
No alive or dead Schrodinger suppositions,
not the product of random composition,
they’re conceived under howl and hiss,
on moonlit nights in tuna bliss.
Though they lick you into hairballs,
and scratch poetry on your walls;
this is still in praise of cats,
cuz they’ve gotta be purrfect.
Mane
These are good hours, brushing muddy thoughts
through short-bristled minutes at the stables.
The horses are mostly calm. Apple-eyed, with
casual swish, their glossy mane surely one of
God’s better ideas. Not for such anomalies
as the capybara or the undecided dugong,
this covering glory for battle-worthy beasts
that hold a king’s carriage, and for us who
canter on old polo ponies, ever concussed
with joy.

It was the first time (ashamedly) that I had seen butoh, and it was both an intense and immersive performance. Continue reading “the poverty of movement”
