Innocently watching
~ the carpet
alert to my tiniest movement
~ toward the kitchen
Innocence lost
~ in the kitchen
alert for wayward scraps
~ until all the food’s put away.
Innocence rests
~ on the nearest cushion
to nap, to sleep
~ until time to prowl.
“Like all pure creatures, cats are practical.”
~ William S. Burroughs, The Cat Inside
